There is something related to this that Mike B. and I have run into an
obstacle with. Setup/Breakdown times. We've noticed there are some out
there, especially with regards to drones. But we want to incorporate this
better. What's the target number to reduce the time? What skill does the
setupper/breakdownee (static free!! ;) have to use? Hell, this could even be
applied to things like anti-theft systems and general breaking/entering to
some extents.

Ideas here?
