On page 23 I don't know what the correct analogy would be but it's definitely not a Rube Goldberg machine.

Veritaserum - The Real Reason Robots Shouldn’t Look Like Humans:

I think the anime "knights and magic" might be a more palatable media for this demographic. It explains rather well exactly why humanoid mechas are the worst at most things, and why specialized shaped are superior.

Though everyone knows the best robots have 6 legs symmetrically in 3 planes, can rotate a body infinitely ontop of that base, and has several pairs of arms with manipulators of various types attached.

To me it makes sense for robots to have 4 or more legs. Centaur, crab, lobster or the like for balance and that benefit of a torso with arms.

It is good Jin stuck up for the kid because that accident could have ruined his life and caused him to become a terrorist too.

The main benefit of humanoid robots, is that they can use human infrastructure. And you need to build human infrastructure anyway. Try fitting a crab-bot into a human building.
The secondary benefit is that human walking style is efficient in both energy and how many limbs you need to make. It does require more sensors and brains as a compensation.

But for rescue work, you want a crab-bot with huge feet, to spread pressure widely and to remain stable on very rough surfaces. Still, it will need to be clever about choosing its footing.
