not sure what to tell my doctor exactly but holy shit it was sooo worth it. Maybe i gotta change my technique lol

i adore wireplay and desperately want to write a piece that's anywhere close to this level of understanding of robots. how did you go about doing research for this? what was the textbook you used, is there anything you'd recommend for beginner robotics learners who can't afford a degree? are there inaccuracies you see in other depictions of wireplay that irk you? do you have any advice in general for writing about the physical traits of robots?

haven't seen you post for a while but i hope you're doin alright. godspeed, u funky objectum writer, ily o7

check out this post for some general info, lot of links in there but in summary: Electrical Motor Controls for Integrated Systems by Gary Rockis and Glen A. Mazur (isbn 0826912265) is beginner accessible as far as information goes

the pet peeve i have with a lot of robot writing in terms of body is that it doesn't balance analogy, specbio, and non-expositional description especially when it comes to sapient machines created in a human context. an arm's always gonna be an arm in casual language* (analogy), but if a machine's damaged its arm wouldn't be fixed in the same way. hypothetically, how would one go about repairing it? what problems would arise? (specbio) and in the same hypothetical, how would the machine treat this development and subsequent solution? (show, don't tell). *i think a lot about trans bodies and the language used with them when i write machinery. you can grope someone's tits even if they're flat chested. you can suck someone's dick even if they have a clit. etc etc. your body is what you define it as!
