If it makes you feel better, I have disassembled pretty well all of the
xEmployees entry to increase sensor resolution, gearing ratios, EOAT speeds

the usual.

We're not up against a wall yet.  But the only walls out there are

logic/reasoning fits behind it.  It's a matter of really characterizing why
the robot does something.  Collect data.  Collect statistics.  Change ONLY
