Via the [[Security Camera]]s fixed onto the walls of test chambers at various points, [[GLaDOS]] can track a test subject's movements and progress. | ||
There are hundreds and more test chambers throughout the Enrichment Center, which can be easily reconfigured and recycled to form another new test chamber. In ''Portal 2'', these chambers can be swiftly created by GLaDOS with the usage of robotic arms carrying [[panels]] and combining them with other panels to form a ceiling, floor, and walls. | There are hundreds and more test chambers throughout the Enrichment Center, which can be easily reconfigured and recycled to form another new test chamber.
