Here is the presentation of their Crawlbot large area CNC router that can cut standard 4x8 or even larger sheets. It moves along the surface on a sort of wheels and doesn't have a full rigid metal frame in all axis. It looks like it is optimized for low cost and simpler operations on large surface like cutting OpenDesk furniture modules. Z-axis height is very limited, but this is the price you pay.
It is priced at 3499 USD.
