Priorities

• Safety
  • States should make sure the robot is never is danger
  • States should make sure the swimmers are never in danger
• Coverage
  • States should be ready to handle any possible conditions
  • States should cover edge cases
• Clarity
  • States and their progression should be easy to understand
  • States should be documented with flow diagrams, etc
