They start making it look easy. I wonder how many grasshoppers were damaged until they had the controls set up right.

0 I think. I think there was only one Grasshopper, which is now retired (visible in the video!) and replaced by F9-R.

Apparently management was actually mildly annoyed that Grasshopper team didn't break one, as that suggests they weren't pushing it hard enough. I think it may have been more "tongue in cheek annoyed" though.
