      Hi Maddie!

      …well..as we do tests robots sometime for the first time, things may not always go according to plan..so we need to see what is wrong and fix it.

      Sometimes it is way beyond your control, like this time in the Atacama desert in Chile where our local control centre – a large tent with lots of people inside – got completely blown off by a large dust devil – like a mini tornado…

      because we had some test going on, we had to reassemble things very quickly to make sure we could continue testing…that was quite a challenge
