    That’s what I was thinking. You might have an arm that can carry 400lbs but man, that would screw up your shoulder and back.

      I guess the only solution is to become a full borg. That way, everyone titanium bone would be rated to handle superhuman stress and you could cary much more.

        While we’re swapping out limbs, wheels would be a lot more efficient at moving loads around too.

          As someone who recently started needing wheels, much of the world isn’t really built for that. Lots of uneven flooring in buildings, stairs, thresholds, spaces too narrow to traverse, etc. I get stuck often lol

          I can totally get behind swappable parts. Depending on what you’re doing, you could use different arms and legs specifically designed for the task at hand.
