Ok, that makes sense. Could we safely fix the tool table size limitation by increasing the NML buffer size? I've been playing around in simulation and loaded a table of 200+ tools without incident. If the buffer size isn't a performance issue, then it seems like we could get an arbitrarily big tool table this way. Has anyone else tried to do this?
