Okay, this is helpful and definitely aligns with what I've heard. The proprietary protocols problem keeps coming up.

Is there any chance we can connect for me to ask a few more questions or read some of your reporting? My email is in my profile.

I am currently doing a masters in robotics and my capstone is aiming to do some lab automation. I don't have background in the area, so I am trying to learn everything I can. Thanks!
