On: Robot Can Do More Push-Ups Because It Sweats

[Terr_]

Just tacking on a few more things about our "original equipment":

(1) built with "unskilled" labor (2) uses commonly-available materials and energy sources (3) integrated self-defense systems against hostile nanotechnology (4) automatic repair system, automatically reconfigures to adapt to certain load profiles (5) some not-yet-matched strength-vs-weight profiles (6) self-lubricating (7) serviceable "in place"

Either part tends to fail after about 40 years of use though. Evolution is a harsh mistress.

Replacements are very costly and hard.
