Quick Reference

Data Collection

✓ DO: Diverse demonstrations, quality checks, multi-modal recording
✗DON'T: Accept failures, skip validation, ignore distribution

Training

✓ DO: Track experiments, use checkpoints, validate regularly
✗DON'T: Skip validation, ignore overfitting, train without baselines

Deployment

✓ DO: Test in sim first, optimize for target hardware, monitor performance
✗DON'T: Deploy untested, skip optimization, ignore edge cases
