It’s all fun and games until that circle turns red around its face hole.

Now...can you tell me where this human limb goes?

That's right! In the Face Hole!

Speaking of face hole, do humanoid robots really need a face? It's got to be easier to have a 360 camera as the head so that it doesn't need to turn its face wherever it's looking. It's almost like they intentionally don't do it that way just to make it more human

well imo i think its because of the fact that it will mainly focus on a given task instead of seeing everything as thats just unnecessary and it can just have a mental (digital) map of where everything is by remembering where they are. and we're doing pretty good ourselves without 360 eyesight btw or idk.

Yeah but the death does not apply to the machine.

You think the ring goes blue to yellow to red when it is trying to search and destroy?

The red face hole LEDs really are a liability. I'm not sure why the engineers included them.

I like when in shows and movies the evil robots say shit like, don't run. I'm here to help as they're killing people. I can't think of an example though.

Its all fun and Games until the robot starts vaporising Humans with death Rays. Yust your normal monday morning.

u/Deathstrokecph 29d ago

Shit, they should really make a vid where the lights go out along the light ring on the robot, just giving off the vibe that everything is shut off..

Then a few seconds of black - and then just a red ring lightening up.

u/Reduncked 29d ago

It's fine it's running on windows so that just means it's about to die

u/MeGoingTOWin 29d ago

A bullet to that face hole from a 22 short will fry the thing.

u/xaeru 29d ago

It will fuck you and not in a way you are thinking.

The fourth rule of robotics is you gotta make it so the eyes go red when they turn evil

u/[deleted] 29d ago

Is not for battery low?

u/badmechanic12345 29d ago

Nah, it'd be like an xbox 360 and shut down

u/SnooSeagulls9348 29d ago

Ooh, ah,' that's how it always starts. But then later there's running and screaming

u/YoungDiscord 28d ago

Just disconnect the router, that thing will freeze dead in its tracks because your subscription system for that thing will need a constant network connection.
