“keep them from becoming further damaged”

Also what if it hits a bump? … the patient then slides out and hits their head!

Even if they just slide out a bit, their head can then be used to open doors or move objects like a battering ram! :)

And lets not forget stairs! … what fun that’ll be for the patient! :)

So, I imagine the treads on top are so the ‘bot can continue driving when inverted. What of the patient though? Anything in place to keep them from becoming further damaged?

“I’m thinking, though, that it might be efficient to combine the crawler with a bioreactor like EATR has. That way, if the patient takes a turn for the worse, at least they’ll be able to help keep the robot alive.”

terribly awesome.
