	On some occasions, you may need to remove a brain from its MMI — mainly, if the patient has decided they'd rather die than live with the existential horror of being a brain-jar. To do so, swipe your ID through the MMI in order to unlock it (you'll need either Robotics or Medical access), then remove the brain. Just be sure to get this cleared with your higher-ups first so you're not charged with murder.

While an MMI is an effective way to save someone from certain death, it is an extremely traumatic and debilitating process - only do so if you are sure it is the patient's wishes.

Each missing skill level in either Complex Devices or Anatomy applies a stacking chance of failure, so it's not advisable to attempt unskilled robotics procedures unless the situation is very dire.

			Note that Roboticists are not surgical professionals and should not be operating on organic patients (even for amputations or prosthetic installations) – that's the Surgeon's job. Likewise, Surgeons should not be conducting robotics repairs (excluding limb installations and repairs on augments/prosthetic organs inside of organic patients), regardless of mechanical skill levels.

	Higher levels of Complex Devices increases the speed at which you perform robotic surgery steps. Additionally, you may want to invest in '''<u>Construction</u>''' and/or '''<u>Electrical Engineering</u>''' — these skills determine how effective you are at repairing brute and burn damage, respectively.

Outside of direct damage to the brain, this is the only thing that can kill a robotic patient! Fix missing/damaged batteries as soon as possible — they can be replaced with cells from the Prosthetic Organ Fabricator in the Robotics OR.

			The microbattery contains a power cell — by default an advanced power cell capable of storing 1000Wh. This cell can be replaced by using a screwdriver on the microbattery to open its panel, using a crowbar to remove the old cell, adding the new cell, and using the screwdriver again to close the microbattery.

	In a pinch, you can leave a patient with a dead battery in a Cyborg Recharging Station to put them on “life support” and buy some time, or you can remove their brain to protect it from the constant damage.
