Re: "The Little Things" - Helpful hints for all

Design with the intent that everything can be replaced quickly! You never know what may go wrong.

Don't use bolts to fasten electronics that may need to be replaced on a dime (motor controllers and sidecars).

Think of how you can save weight when you design parts, not when you put the robot on the scale.
