The workflow felt incredibly authentic to a real Robotics and Controls Engineering environment. It required a full lifecycle approach: identifying concrete hardware bottlenecks (like actuator thermal strain and sensor misalignment), proposing actionable mechanical upgrades, and using iterative testing to prove those solutions worked.

I liked that the simulation provided a practical, hands-on experience in diagnosing robotic arm performance issues and designing optimization solutions. The Python-based simulations helped me understand how changes in response time, efficiency, and durability can affect robotic system performance. I also liked that the tasks encouraged technical problem-solving and professional documentation.

What could be the cause of the processing delay observed in the robotic arm's operation, as shown in the image?
