Debunking the science of the 1996 robot episode of "Sliders"

[tmc_6882]

AKA "State of the ART" from Season 3:

• Can green gel really conduct electricity to areas that aren't hardwired?
  
  Can you build a functional access panel for a robot with a spinal bundle that can disable it when pulled?
  
  Can you still repower a robot with badly burned circuits by working around the damaged areas (or by improvising)?
  
  Can a humanoid robot really have internals analogous to the human form? For example, a bundle of wires running down the spinal cord being the robot's central nervous system or metal plates being its vertebra.
  
  Can a robot badly malfunction if due to intensity problems, emotions conflict with logic?
  
  What are some methods for rewiring a robot’s power supply?
  
  Is it plausible for an activated robot to need to reset its spacial orientation coordinates (i.e. bumping into things across the room)?
