could we get robotic tips, mainly focusing on wires if possible. this is for a headmate but i think the rest of us could benefit too
Oh of course! Iād love to help!! I actually really REALLY love science and engineering stuff so this is going to be so fun to research!!!
A good post I have on visualizing your wires and robot traits can be found here! Itās for a murder drones ask I got but it can also apply to all robot kin or robots!
Think of your veins as wires, and your skin as your protective casing! Instead of flesh, imagine itās just a softer rubber to absorb shock! Most robots have safety padding anyways!
Your nervous system is just a giant cable assembly connected to your CPU, and your CPU sends electricity through those cables/wires to make you move and function!
And for eating food? Like I said in the other post, thatās not human food if YOU as a robot are eating it. It automatically becomes robot fuel. Soup can also make it easier for you to think of it as gas or whatever type of liquid fuel your CPU system uses.
Wearing clothing with loose strings or sewn on loose strings can replicate that frayed or loose wire look! And wearing the color of your robot typeās preferred or natural casing cover can help a lot!
Studying body language and how machines work can be incredibly useful. I also recommend looking up uncanny valley movements, if you try to apply that to a more machine specific movement you can really convey the fact you arenāt human.
Robots are also incredibly smart! Reading up on books, articles, and literally any helpful media you can get your hands on is not only a good way to ease dysphoria, but itās also a great way to store/ learn helpful information and feed your CPU ideas!
