Small Things just completed their robotics stress test in the Mediterranean Sea. Big milestone for the @the_small_thing team.
Mesh network stress test running in the Mediterranean 🌊 Testing autonomous routing optimization across 10 nodes with adaptive duty-cycle balancing. The fleet maintains GSM/WiFi-grade resilience while respecting regional duty-cycle constraints critical for long-range oceanic deployments. Key focus: battery performance vs. radio duty-cycle trade-offs. Each node dynamically adjusts transmission power and hop-count routing based on real-time mesh topology. Current run: 25 messages routed through up to 5-hop paths, with autonomous low-battery escalation protocols kicking in when needed. The goal? Keep the mesh alive for weeks, not hours. Deep ocean operations demand extreme power efficiency every milliwatt counts when you're 50km from shore. Real-time telemetry, multi-hop routing, and self-healing topology. This is the unglamorous engineering work that makes ocean cleanup actually scalable. I know many of you want frequent updates and I appreciate the enthusiasm. But as you can see, this is a robotics project with extreme constraints. We can't push daily updates while maintaining quality and safety standards. That said, a proper logbook will be maintained throughout deployment. Engineering takes time. We're building for reliability, not hype. And thank you for all your messages. I genuinely enjoy exchanging with you all. Your support keeps the project moving forward.
