"If the user wants to do this, they will do this" - perfectly acceptable. "They" and "them", can be plural and singular.

you can consider it the same as solar panels, which need periodic cleaning to maintain high performance

But then you're forcing an organisation style/hierarchy because of a tech problem. If I want all my developers to be able to access production directly for quick development, then that should be possible

Firm believer that adopting base 12 would have had a ripple affect on society, preventing many trials tribulations and wars. Pity we only have base 10 and donald trump

Sometimes learning on older technologies is very helpful to learning more of the fundamentals than learning practical skills directly.

Nice stuff. Raspberry Pis are generally pretty terrible at running servo's though. Adding an intermediate Arduino would work wonders (I appreciate the complexity would jump significantly though)
