The whole head-neck assembly is a disaster. Should have kept all the vital stuff in the torso and gone with articulated eyestalks.

You've just designed a crab. Again.

Sounds like a good argument for a crab-bot design

Seriously, who designed this crap?

I'm sorry, but management doesn't approve any refactorings or rewrites, they only approve hotfixes and don't budge, it's been that way for millions of years.

Does this ever cause health issues?

[–] AmbientChaos@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! I don't remember the specifics but I believe I read it can turn something that would otherwise have been a small injury into something life threatening or even fatal
