Key Takeaways

3D Printing is not reliable enough for our designs
Test out key assumptions as early as possible
Localization is very important to our successes
WiFi comms are unreliable without precautions
The necessity of well-documented issue logs
Start integrating as early as possible
Robustness can be greatly improved
Don’t over-test mechanisms – they tend to break
