*our CAD-er (R) is drawing up our robot post-build*

R: This just isn't working. All the twisting we have must put an insane amount of strain on the robot. I'm suprised it hasn't broken yet.

Me: Oh, yes! we base all of our robots on the counterforce principal. We put our robot under a huge amount of stress to keep it in shape so that we can put loads on it that a normal robot would be incapable of handling. Like our arm. All the stress is in the other direction so that it acts as counter stress and evens itself out.



Me: Why is that gap there? It's not like that on our robot. Can't you just loft that shape along a line?

R: Yeah, I tried that. It said "Object cannot exist along this path"
