AH here is the part that gets tecnical. The possibliity is that Robotization
replaces certain senses with Robotic counterparts (eyes with optic sensors,
ears with audio recptors, ect.) Look at Commander Data from the Star Trek:
TNG series. He uses sensors in his mouth to taste, and food is converted
into another power source(Don't ask How I know this, I don't remember the
book I was reading, possible a source book for RPG). I hope this helps
somewhat. =:-)
