gollark: There is no `require`. You'll need the robot component or something. I assume that exists. Or maybe `robot` is just in the gløbal scope?

gollark: You can do that while it's running.

gollark: No, boot the computer as normal, and once it BOOTS UP swap out the EEPROM.

gollark: Put the blank EEPROM in a computer or something (remove the existing one, it can work without it, just not boot), run `flash [code to put on the EEPROM]`.

gollark: Flash an EEPROM.
