Gyrre:
On the note of moving robotic bodies around.
Also, come on, Iris. I liked you.
Gyrre:
Or right, jargon.
Omni wheel/omnidirectional wheel: a wheel with multiple rollers along its out edge that allow it to roll sideways in addition to the foward spin of the wheel.
Spider tank: a robot/mech that uses a combination of legs and wheels/treads to move about giving it a much wider variety of terrain it can traverse. The concept is largely constricted to science fiction at the moment, but attempts have been made. As the name implies, it's usually got a turret or some other projectile weapon affixed to the main body. The Tachikoma from GitS: Stanalone Complex would be a good example.
Shuffler: uses rotational movenment to shift around verticle plates for locomotion. There's an entire category in Battlebots for them.
Farideh:
At least Iris doesn't go straight to "no, that's incorrect, you're wrong, humans are stupid", so that's something.
Near Lurker:
...er... frankly... why?
BenRG:
I wonder how deeply Hannelore has just shaken Iris's view of herself and, indeed, of the whole world? "Wait, you mean that I'm not intrinsically better than you? Wow! This is going to make it harder for me to condescend and look down on you guys!"
