wait. Actually it approaches (R-1)/(R+1) - |x|cot(pi/(R+1)). The shift upward of the limits is precisely the same as the limit of where it crosses the origin

You also have to *pay* for those LLM calls.

In the limit it approaches two lines of points at the angle 180deg/(R+1) from the y axis. So for example, for R=2, it approaches the lines y=|x|/2.

by small angle approximation I found that
f(0) = (R-1)/(R+1)
f(0) = (R-1)/(R+1)

Alternatively, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha has the girls themselves that act like mechs. not 魔法少女 rather, 魔砲少女.

"The moon is a harsh mistress" is a really famous story. She forgot the part where flinging rocks from the moon requires a massive railgun which only a much, much larger space program would be able to build (and currently NASA is almost being defunded)
