Forum:Machine classifications

Since this seems to be a recurring issue, perhaps we should be trying to find a new solution to it. Machines do not fit in the same classification system as creatures, plants or cells. These three kingdoms all go under the "life" umbrella. So if you so desperately want to classify your robots (and even vehicles), we need a different system. I'm thinking of ranks like type, purpose, model, make and so on. Please discuss. 20:13, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
