    I would like to overcome my limitations in this fashion. Aside from my tongue and naughty bits, the human body doesn’t offer me any experience that I enjoy.

      Wishing to become just a brain in a robot body sadly misunderstands the totality of the human body. It’s been shown that gut biome affects mental health, for example.

        One would assume that a robotic body would have devices and supplement cartridges for that, automatically monitored and regulated. The human body is a machine - but a robotic version would be actually optimally designed, rather than an endless variety of useful accidents. Even better, you can move the brain into different vessel shapes, each built for a particular purpose.

        In any case, converting a fleshy brain’s memories into an computerized format would be preferable. Unfortunately, I suspect that is hard to pull off without being lossy or fatal.

        It would be like Robot Wars, but with a lot more strategies. Rock wall climb? Hover boots, piledriver spikes, gecko skin, and so on. Someone should make an anime or show focused on robosports.
