Thanks for the offer. There are our initial tests. What the video doesn't show is that, with practice, our driver was able to do pretty well and we're nowhere near done positioning wheels and distributing weight. If we get to a point in the next week where we're unhappy with our optimization through testing, then we'll consider adding the layer of complexity and we'll be in touch.
