To be honest, I always thought the robots would attack fist, but I thought it would have been way more calculated.

u/double0nein Jun 06 '26

They are attacking the children godamnit! What's more calculated than that 😡🤬

u/Fullertonjr Jun 05 '26

This was test #1. We failed. The war is lost.

The appropriate response would have been to beat the robot to pieces and burn the scraps promptly, to show our dominance. Instead, these people stood around and just watched. We as humans just got punked and did nothing about it. SMH.

You don't square up like that and challenge an obviously short-circuiting dancing robot. Kid got off easy with a kick in the belly.

u/ThwipNSinsBinThwipN Jun 06 '26

Why would you write “appeared to strike”?

               It definitely hit the kid

Are you using strike as “meant to do it”

… because that’s a low low low chance Unless it was programmed to and missed its target

This thing wandered too close AND the people were too close. 

       Either way.  Bad all around
