But we haven't even started making versions that would be ready to be integrated on a robot.
But then again, we always spend more time prototyping and less time with a fully assembled robot. And it has worked out pretty well so far.
This is the fastest year we've ever had. All our prototypes worked well right out of the gate--and I'm sure we'll have some unknown-but-anticipated problems when we move into the assembly stage, and more still in initial testing.
