So can we gently caress it?

My favorite part is the guy who shows up with a hockey stick, and then a 2x4, to knock crap out of the robot's hands, who up to that point was shown to be a dopey sidekick.

It's loving hilarious. "We have created robot life! Let's hit it with a board!"

Killing Hockey Stick Guy is legit the best way for the robot to fulfill the intended task, it's just not intelligent enough to figure it out yet.

It was cool when the robot righted itself after the dink knocked him down. Kinda creepy to watch it in action, but it's also pretty amazing.

That's p amazing. Although is walking on two legs with our exact anatomical structure really the most efficient and best thing to create from scratch when you could create anything? Like, clopping around on flat robot feet just seems like a stupid design.

I think the technical neckbeard explanation for why it paused before getting back up is because the normal arm motors don't have the force required to push that hard. It sounded like it was running a pneumatic compressor and then fired an air cylinder to do it.

I bet it could throw a really mean punch with the same method!
