The chemical powered housing and mobility system is a sack of meat
weighing at least 50 kilos. The supply of necessary chemicals to
sustain the instrument is also significant weight.
More importantly it has a very narrow range of survivable temperatures
and pressures, necessitating a pressurized and climate controlled
containment vessel.
Accuracy of measurements tends to be poor, and easily influenced by
external factors (see /confirmation bias/, /cognitive dissonance/,
/logical fallac/y)
Instrument will produce alarm conditions if containment vessel is deemed
too small or too uncomfortable. Also produces alarm conditions if too
lonely or doesn't approve of companions.
Instrument may suffer control system failure in the event of sudden
pressure changes (see /nitrogen narcosis/, /caisson disease/, /high
pressure nervous syndrome/)
Instrument has small chance of psychotic break.
I admit the device is impressively compact, but overall it's a terrible
instrument.
