The SO101 clips in the release have got me interested. I need a first experiment small enough that I might actually finish it. No laundry, no making tea. Thinking one practice block into one tray. Too boring?
Fixed tray for the baseline, sure. I'd still reserve some different block positions for testing. Otherwise the lesson might just be that it remembers the setup.
