The 775s are great (a bot as small and fast as ours is near impossible w/o 775s and VPs everywhere), you just have to monitor them. We missed a failure scenario in software (unintentional/untested stalls in autonomous). It will never happen again!

The volunteer staff and teams at Palmetto were great this weekend. We looooved the facility and made a lot of new friends. Southern hospitality is alive and well at Palmetto! Thanks for a great time!
