Hugging Face released SmolVLA this week, a 450M model with SO100/SO101 experiments. I'm tempted to try one very dull transfer rather than reproduce an impressive montage. For a first dataset, would you vary the starting positions straight away or establish one repeatable case first? I haven't trained anything yet. https://huggingface.co/blog/smolvla

One case to check the recording pipeline, then vary positions. Keep some trials out of training from the start so you can tell whether the result transfers.

zero ambition is unfair. Mine would be making the camera stay attached.

Camera staying attached is a surprisingly respectable baseline.

Thanks Priya. Separate held-out trials from day one; noted. And yes, the mount is part of the plan now.
