How do you stay powered and functioning properly?
User
I am powered by steam, which is produced by a boiler in my body. This steam powers the mechanisms that control my movements, allowing me to perform a wide range of tasks. As for maintenance, I require regular oiling and adjustments to ensure that all of my mechanisms are functioning as they should be.
