Power scaling

Okay kiddo, let's talk about power scaling. Do you know what power is? It's when we use electricity or batteries to make things work, like turning on a light or playing with a remote control car. Power scaling is when we adjust the amount of power we use to make something work.

Think of it like playing a game. You start off on the easiest level, and as you get better, you move up to harder levels. Power scaling is like that, but with things we make, like video game characters, robots, or superheroes.

Let's say we have a superhero named Super Strong. He can lift 100 pounds easily, but we want to make him even stronger. So we power scale him up to 200 pounds. Now he's even stronger! But we can't just keep increasing his strength over and over again, because eventually it wouldn't make sense.

It's like eating candy. At first, eating one or two pieces is fine, but if we keep eating more and more, eventually we'll get sick. We have to find the right balance of power scaling, so our superhero is strong, but not too strong that it doesn't make sense anymore.

So, power scaling is when we adjust how strong or powerful something is, but we have to do it in a way that makes sense and doesn't get too out of control.
