Misti was a completely new mechanical build over previous years.
She was designed to have a similar footprint to Jeanni and Roxi(i) while making the electronics more accessible, being more waterproof, and being much more offroad capable.

Suspension
Sensors
Misti was designed to accommodate all the sensors with the following design principles:
- Protect from environment
- Maintain accessibility
- Modular mounts: Isolate change propagation
Interface
- Panel with clearly identified and accessible buttons, switches, and guages
- Safety:
- Multiple remotes for wireless E-stop
- Wired E-stop at operator�s forehead level
Electronics
Misti took advantage of the wider front and rear trays to make the electronics more accessible:
- Power distribution tray mounted to removable static dissipative panel for servicing.
- Reduce wiring mess:
- Motor controllers mounted near motors
- Micro-controllers mounted near laptop
