I am lucky to have some nice novatel Sokkia RTK but had a bad initialization my guess anyways in large willow trees. I suspect that and i also know that i was pushing the equipment to a large limit
The limits means that even the Geo Robot would have a small battle getting the shot
through the green jungle.
This green patch is in the dry desert about 70 m = 200 ft about maybe 5 tough shots
how could one do this small stretch with out using the robot for 5 shots ?
repeat shots to same points after forcing a reinit on gps just to confirm ? first points by simple stake out of first shots.
Also how does one force a bad initialization just to see if it can be done repeatable
to some degree and thus learn the limits of the equipment.
Thanks to all

Well, second question first. To force a bad initialization, why not find a green patch in the dry desert, one full of willows? That would be where I'd put my money.
As to the first, the problem that I'd think you'd run into is that reinitializations within a few minutes of each other on the same point are apt to be subject to the same multipath conditions that may have botched your first initialization. So you pretty much need to return more than 20 minutes later when the SV constellation will have changed enough to give significantly different geometry and multipath effects at the station.
Alternately, you could just do it first class. Set some points in the clear via GPS, get your chain saw or loppers out, and set the robot to work.
what about taking offset measurements for the five tough shots?
Fly points and the gun.
Everything else is wasting time.
