being able to late-join as a borg

[oblong]

I know that people are encouraged to communicate but trying to get the attention of a roboticist as a late-joining assistant often seems like a lot of effort when I could be doing something else, even if I would prefer to be a borg. I think we should admit that voluntary borging is actually quite a rare event these days. If I was a roboticist I am sure that I would in fact have MORE to do if I could build suits and put them in a machine that accepts late joiners right away, as then I have a borg to chat to and possibly upgrade, plus I now need a new suit for the machine. This would make robotics far more busy and entertaining in my opinion.
