I am about a quarter of the way to a s= imilar setup.

My goal is to have a specialty for each of the Pi's (sensors,= controller, terminal, router) without preventing them from doing general ta= sks. I'm hoping to eventually connect up some Pi zeros as leaf nodes for jus= t sensor/control and plumb through 9P via UART pins.
