I am not sure what you mean by "exploitation" of ordnance, please enlighten me.
Yes we should have the best gear but we don't, most of the time our gear is great but this one fell through the cracks. The DOD is really pushing to have the warfighter start developing and fixing our own gear and not have to lean on industry as much which is awesome, we just purchased a Luzbot Taz 6 and are making training aids with it now!

For the ordnance part, we are taking measurements and seeing how things work. Our current machine has Yako drivers, motors, and a rotary pulse generator for the z, x, y, and a axis. I would like to adapt this style of system to our Grizzly machines if possible.
