I have long since thought that bomb diffusing should be done via a robotic body. Much better to risk a replaceable humanoid drone than the whole human.
From the couch, I don’t understand why a humanoid body would be best for this… We humans have to work with what we initially had, but why wouldn’t a robot be better? Seems like even a wheeled/threaded cart, or a quadruped with arms could be more practical in a lot of situations…
