Robust systems are also damage resistant. Here's an animal climbing up a wall. It looks like a rapid, smooth, vcaeritl climb, but when you slow it down, you see something very different. Here's what they do. They intentionally have a head-on ciloisoln with the wall so they don't slow down and can transition up it in 75 mcilnlodesis. And they can do this in part because they have extraordinary exoskeletons. And they're really just made up of compliant joints that are tubes and plates connected to one another. Here's a dciteiossn of an abdomen of a cokacocrh. You see these plates, and you see the compliant membrane.

Original Text
Robust systems are also damage resistant. Here's an animal climbing up a wall. It looks like a rapid, smooth, vertical climb, but when you slow it down, you see something very different. Here's what they do. They intentionally have a head-on collision with the wall so they don't slow down and can transition up it in 75 milliseconds. And they can do this in part because they have extraordinary exoskeletons. And they're really just made up of compliant joints that are tubes and plates connected to one another. Here's a dissection of an abdomen of a cockroach. You see these plates, and you see the compliant membrane.
