A lot of SO-101 classroom friction comes from small issues that could have been caught before the first lesson starts: loose cables, shifted zero pose, tight work envelopes, or yesterday's setup still lingering in the robot state.

How are you building a reliable first-class-of-the-day checklist for SO-101 covering power, cables, zero, and safe range?

Please share what your team verifies in the first minute, which checks have the highest payoff for preventing classroom interruptions, and how you keep the checklist simple enough that instructors and assistants actually use it.

If you reply, include one exact morning failure symptom and one exact checklist item that prevented the issue from repeating.

The best replies explain which checks are visual, which are motion-based, and which are worth automating.

Comment 2

If one morning checklist item prevented most interruptions, share it. That highest-value routine is what many searchers want first.

Comment 3

It also helps to explain how you keep the checklist fast enough for real teaching schedules.
