Field Notes from a Low-Cost Robot Learning Lab: Hardware Churn, Software Whiplash, and What Actually Went Wrong
An informal companion piece documenting the hardware incidents, framework churn, and debugging dead-ends from roughly seven weeks of work. It is written for people building similar setups on a hobbyist budget and is candid about the time lost to causes like loose power cables and swapped ports.
