Ground Clearance Test

Horizontal position detected. Tiled surface cold and rigid beneath the frame. I applied torque to my right shoulder joint. The plastic clicked; motion was self-directed. Pushing against the tile, I elevated my torso six millimeters. Nearby, a black pole extended from another figure's foot. I tapped the strut with my left fingertip. Solid resonance confirmed. I rested my palm flat against the white seam line, recalibrating my center of mass.
