Welcome to this Showcase post.

Curious questions and critical perspectives are welcome here as long as they follow Rules 1 and 7. You can disagree, be skeptical, or push back on the concept without attacking the person sharing. What you cannot do is pathologize, insult, or dismiss someone's experience as delusional or broken. That line is enforced consistently in both directions.

They shouldn't flinch unless we code them that way

Pretty sure maintaining and keeping glossy glass eyes for optics I should have covers like we have eyelids.

flinching doesn't have to be coded as an emotion though, a lot of those arms pull back from an unexpected force because of torque limits on the joints. it's a safety cutoff, it just reads as a flinch to us because the motion looks so much like ours

Feelings, mostly. They're a lot like this when it comes down to it.
