Relentless posted:The other side of that coin is that you can hand one to a new recruit and 99% of them will pick it up in seconds. Right stick controls the aiming, left stick controls movement, assign zoom buttons, use the triggers for sensitivity modifiers, DONE. A half sheet of paper detailing what each button does taped to the wall and that's an entire training manual that's sitting in the desk drawer collecting dust. Oh my god, Toys was right!

I'm assuming either the basket is stuck in that position, or the other guy in the lift is holding something and they need a new tool, so he, no they'd just hand the tool up, so. . . . Huh. It keeps making less sense the more i watch.

Ya, it's Japan. There's going to be a fatal flaw in that design that nobody is going to know about until that monorail somehow destroys the entire city at which point it'll come to light that the flaw had been discovered years ago and actively hidden.

SergZpartan posted:The Manbasket lowers! That's the whole point. We had an articulated boom lift at a site I worked that we needed to use to change certain lights. Every time we used the thing it froze up at some point where it decided it couldn't move in any direction without approaching unsafe limits. The solution was, of course, to bounce up and down and side to side until you could get it moving in a direction it liked and regain control. The limits turn out to be pretty conservative.
