Looking back at the SmolVLA experiments while planning a training-cell report. I'd like our eventual video to show useful evidence, not only the nicest pick. My draft has attempts, successes, starting conditions and whether I moved anything between takes. What am I missing? The linked research is my starting point, not a claim that I've reproduced it.

Define success before filming. Part in tray but dropped from a height might count for one experiment and fail another.

Write down interventions too. If someone rescues the object halfway through, it wasn't an unattended success.

Thanks. I'll add intervention count and an explicit success definition. That's already more honest than my original yes/no column.
