.. which was my point. ;)

Vicky indicated he was using Fine Manipulators to type his post, and I decided to make an in-joke about Vicky being a spider-bot and actually typing using No Fine Manipulators.

So Vicky has No Fine Manipulators (Mitigator: Sticks)?

Basically if you have nothing more agile than a dogs jaws, you don't have fine manipulators. Legs are manipulators (as are jaws) so you're not totally hosed, but you're not in a good situation.
