ROBOTS WITH FEVERS BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEMS ARE EXPENDING SO MUCH ENERGY FIGHTING A VIRUS
i used to write for detroit become human so consider:
overheating because of blocked vent fans (asthma analogous)
malware causing certain systems to malfunction or overheat
shivering because a virus is tricking their system into thinking conditions are freezing, thus necessitating the need to agitate artificial blood to avoid coagulation
gyroscopic malfunction akin to dizziness/vertigo
sensory input issues causing double vision, hallucinations, etc
robot companion cranking their systems up in a cold environment to cause intentional overheating/heat output to keep their human companion warm
damage to components that cause short-term memory storage to malfunction or long-term memory deletion
involuntary shutdown to prevent overheating from either hot environment or overheating internally from malware/broken parts (akin to fainting)
warning messages overwhelming the robot's visual field right before they go into a forced shutdown, difficulty focusing and communicating because of the distraction
"blood" working kind of like a spider in that pressure is needed to maintain limb rigidity and function, so when too much "blood" loss occurs, they get weak or can't move
okay sorry, i used to really enjoy thinking through what robot whump might look like and you reactivated it like a sleeper agent lmao
get over here jimmy....
