It seems they were very generous at sharing their behind-the-scene documentations including a few detailed youtube videos on early prototypes for the 2013 Kickstarter campaign, but not so much for the commercial one in 2016. It would be interesting to see how they designed the arrangement of the HAL sensors in order to keep the interference at the minimum.
