[Okay now that he's trying to explain it without having anything physical to show for it, he's nervous.]
It's going to have a skeleton inside, maybe carbon fiber, but with a vinyl body so it'll be soft. I-i want it to help people
[The notes mostly consist of measurements of how strong the materials need to be for what it needs to carry inside as well as what he wants it to be able to do, medical-wise.]
[omg no bro gets it!! He gets at least that aspect of his idea. He just has to get his hands on one of those air circulator things they use in bouncy castles and haha. He's thirteen. But he leans over the table to point at different parts of the bot.]
And I'm going to put cameras in for eyes to record any odd things and build in a scanner to sync it to for body vitals, pulse rates, and things like that.
[ But this is obviously a project that could get him in. If it all works out the way his brother plans, anyway. Hiro's abruptly coming to the realization that his brother might actually be good at this stuff too. ]
[He watches Hiro, trying to guess what he's thinking. He really doesn't want to wait that long, not if he can be around him and help keep an eye on him. That's the whole point behind wanting to build this robot anyway - to help look after his big brother that keeps forgetting to look after himself. He doesn't have any grand ideas of registering early - Hiro was an exception, he knows that, his brother's a supergenius. They'd have been stupid to not let Hiro in.]
[He watches Hiro for a solid minute, waiting for the punchline or the "just kidding", but it doesn't come. A chance to really make what he wants to do, and a place to show it off, just him, and show his brother what he can really do. He looks back at his notes, considering.]
[Did Hiro want a hug? Too bad if he didn't, he's getting the most excitable tiny Tadashi hug. Better than he could've hoped for, he just wanted to put together a bot, he hadn't even considered showcasing it to get into school with his brother.]
You're awesome! It might take a while to do, but I'll definitely do it.
[Okay so that was a little too excitable but he's grinning and wanting so badly to go to his brother's lab and work! And see what he's been working on!]
If I ask really nicely she'll have to make some for us to take!

Well ... I was gonna wait until you actually applied. Which you should still do.

[Sneaky lil bro tho]

An inflatable nurse bot?
no subject
Healthcare companion.

[ His tone is distracted, but that's probably the best compliment Hiro can give his brother's work. It means he's thinking about the idea. ]
That'd keep him from hurting people ... the problem with just using a regular bot is that they don't know how much pressure to apply.

You're my little brother, aren't you?
