Re: 2012 Lessons Learned:The Negative

Yeah, the field tour videos are part of the manual on the website. We didn't calibrate our bridge full time, we just added weights to test the manipulator -- and while we were at it, we added more than was necessary to make sure we were a bit over-engineered on the manipulator side of things. Balancing on the uncalibrated bridge was harder than on the actual bridge, so that was actually useful for training purposes!
