Not that this is a particuliarly important discussion, but ...
Is there a logic behind the naming of different bot versions in an upgrade? For example, what makes a robot become 2.0 versus 1.2? Is there an actual standard somewhere?
And is a robot's version based on software? Hardware? Either/Or?

no system
people make stuf up, like they do bots

Everything I make is v0.99. That’s because I get it to the point where I think “yeah, I’ve shown I COULD do that…” It’s something that engineers suffer from if they’re not under the duress of their employer saying “Get it finished!”
