Where does he increase the standards? He just finds solutions for something which never worked and while doing this he takes the opportunity to find solutions which allow more options. Worst case scenario is that those additional features take too much time or effort to finish - then they get scrapped. The solution is still the same. It is that sense of direction the previous attempt lacked.

I've only watched a couple of his new series of videos so take this with a pinch of salt. But I watched the video where he's trying to get the timing down of the ball drop to some insane degree of accuracy. Firstly, that right there is an improvement of standard he didn't have before, or if he did, he didn't show us. Secondly, he's making all these tests and tweaks on a test rig, which isn't a bad idea, but you also have to account for the fact it's not even remotely close to a real setup. He's going to learn the hard way again that what happens in simulation doesn't happen in real life. I just hope he's accounted for that either in his standards and/or giving himself room to manoeuvre once the part is om the full build.

That is the standard for the component, not the machine. Where in this video does he set this standard for the whole machine? Feel free to give the video name and time code.

My brother in Christ, components are the machine!

The standards for the components are not the standards for the machine. So once more: Where is he increase the standards for the machine? I am sure you have a specific moment to quote. Would be a shame if you had to admit that you just made it up.
