Wouldn't one expect a prototype to be better than a mass produced unit? It gets individual care and can be optimized for the test.
- dhagz 7y agoIt will probably undergo several revisions and optimizations before mass production. Prototyping is usually pretty early in the process.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoNah. Prototypes have lots of compromises - wrong materials, crude circuits etc. Maybe bolted to a plywood table top etc. The purpose of a prototype is proof-of-concept and measurement/recording. Not a simulation of real deployment.
