Thinking Backwards

Each of 13 designs of robots, drones and computers were listed together with the experiment and results then the best and worst features of each were also listed. The most notable features were finally aggregated to form general specifications for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for these efforts:

  1. Exportable
  2. Customisable
  3. Medium complexity (build & sensors)
  4. Reliable (power & build)
  5. Stable (movement & design)
  6. Right form factor
  7. Successful (does the job)
  8. Reproducible
  9. Powerful enough (computationally)

Finally, an additional specification (of sorts) is that everything can be Open Source.

Unsure this is an exhaustive list but it helps focus efforts a little and may lead to a more generally useful design?
