We are also cheap lumps of carbon made with a little bit sweat, work and a modest amount of enthusiasm. The construction is not even done by professionals with any visible pride of workmanship. The results as most of you know, are mixed. The entire worth of the structure with all minerals and workmanship is perhaps $2.34 not counting precious metals sometimes used to strengthen the mandibles. To get it to final size requires shoveling in fuels of perhaps 35,000.00 worth of various carbon products and spending many times that on other bits of froofera and adornment. In addition the units need constant fuel and maintenance. All in all a harly justifiable enterprise by any standard. As a robot these carbon units are practically useless, as although trainable at simple tasks, they follow instructions only when they feel like it and are untrustworthy around anything of value. In some cases they destroy each other, can be noisy obnoxious and aggressive. They even try to make other carbon units live and think according to particular ways of thinking.

Too much trouble. I prefer gold as lumps of stuff go.
