    It’s always okay to get the torch out.

    And a robot can sense a bolt about to snap, because it can measure the amount of force being used. If that exceeds the force it’s supposed to take, before you reach the breaking point, then it’s time for heat and wax.

    But you’re right on the rest. A robot can’t account for a bolt so rusty that it’s lost its edges and become one with the frame. Or some weird ass modifications the last owner made.
