Claim 16:
17. A system comprising:
a sub-component extrusion station for assembling and extruding a sub-component, the sub-component comprising a plurality of members, the sub-component extrusion station comprising:
a sub-component assembly surface; and
a first robotic arm configured to position members of the sub-component on the sub-component assembly surface, wherein the sub-component comprises:
a first member and a second member that are parallel; and
a plurality of cripple studs, wherein a first end of each cripple stud of the plurality of cripple studs is coupled to the first member and a second end of each cripple stud of the plurality of cripple studs is coupled to the second member to assemble the sub-component, wherein the sub-component extrusion station is configured to extrude the sub-component after assembly to an outfeed table;

a sub-element assembly station comprising:
a sub-element assembly surface configured to receive the sub-component from the outfeed table;
a second robotic arm configured to incorporate the sub-component into a sub-element;

a main element assembly station for extruding a main element, wherein the main element is a framing structure of a building component, the main element assembly station comprising:
a main element assembly surface configured to receive the sub-element from the sub-element assembly station; and
a third robot configured to position the sub-element on the main element assembly surface to integrate with the main element and;

a controller having one or more processors, coupled to memory, wherein the one or more processors execute computer-readable instructions stored in the memory to:
dispose and fasten, by the sub-component extrusion station, the members of the sub-component;
extrude, by the sub-component extrusion station, the sub-component;
assemble, by the sub-element assembly station, the sub-element using the sub-component;
extrude, by the sub-element assembly station, the sub-element; and
assemble, by the main element assembly station, the main element.
