Being a shop guy, I think I may be able to answer this question. We want to work on the robot where it is at the current time because it's easier for us to walk and get tools that for us to constantly shuffle the robot back and forth. My team has been working on the robot in the darkest corner of our shop (we use flashlights and cell phone screens to see) for about a week because our computers are there and (of course) the programmers are there. Hope this sheds some light on the situation. Not too much though! (Get it? Too much light and you'd need sun glasses. Stretch? I'll crawl back into my corner now)
