One thing I notice is a perverse requirement to make things mechanically complex, when there are other strategic, programming or organizational solutions which can solve problems in other ways.

Exactly what I was proposing, and would accept. Connect em with a space hose to start with. I will even galdly stipulate the space hose if you forgot to bring it.

FINE, with much discussion off list I can begrudgingly accept non attached multiple robots. (...)
