Pintsize was creating one. The one I've been calling Dilly, to be precise.
Or at least it sang. Pretty sure it was sentient tho because first it ran away and then he appeared on the back cover for Prolapse Monthly.

--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 17 Mar 2016, 06:05 ---A lot of repair work seems to be dependent on the chassis. Simple ones like what Pintsize or Winslow inhabit can be fixed via home repair. Marten seems to handle most of Pintsize's frequent repair work. For more complex stuff he turned to an expert with Marigold. May and Momo's chassis seems more complex, enough that it's a specialized skill and toolset to work on them. But not so much that you need extensive schooling for. To wit: The repairs were apparently more than Marigold could do. But Faye is learning them on the job. So we're probably talking automotive or robotics level skill set here, as opposed to a doctor's skill set. Something you can go to a school to learn and get accredited for, but you could also learn via an apprenticeship. Where as a doctor requires pretty extensive, multi year and multi discipline training before they get to start working on people.
--- End quote ---
On the other hand, doctors work on people, whose parts can't be replaced/fixed easily if they make a mistake. If such a mistake happens while repairing Chassis, replacing/restoring them to the original working condition is much easier; I don't think the extent of the skill set is the difference, but the tolerance for mistakes.
The only ones who might need a proper degree to repair might be highly complex AI/Chassis like Spaceship and Station, but that would be so even without them being controlled by powerful AI.
