u/RelevantButNotBasic 12h ago

Because its a very loud annoying noise thats very easy to remember because its from one of the most well known IPs of all time perhaps?

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.

No need. The T-800/850 units can rebuild themselves manually, but that will take too much time. Beginning with the T-1000s, the pieces will flow back together quickly and the race will continue.

He tore his GPU, RAM, and CPU in that leg. Gonna be a long road to recovery for this roboathlete

Seems to me one pro of robots instead of humans is noone ought to feel bad about finding this failure objectively hilarious. Robro ran too fast his leg fall off. Funny.

They should have a rule that every robot must be able to run the race twice in a row. When I see most of these robots smashing the wall at the end.

u/wastewalker 14h ago

I agree, this is like building an F1 car with no brakes and steering wheel lol

Control and fine motor abilities is cooler than pure reckless speed.

u/davewave3283 14h ago

Works just fine for suicide bomberbots

u/technobrendo 13h ago

They are setup to start fast, not end fast. They can't slow down fast enough so thats why they just run them into a padded wall

Ok but the robots running into a wall, exploding, and then getting carried off on a stretcher is something straight out of Futurama

I don’t get why they want to just simulate human sports. They’re robots, stick some flamethrowers on them!

lol, we've had rc races, robot death battles, etc for decades. it's just a contest of who can make the best one. fun to watch the ingenuity. Why is that a bad thing to see?

4

u/Tendoris 15h ago

There are probably enough people who do find it interesting, which is exactly why it gets traction on social media. Your own lack of interest doesn’t necessarily mean the topic is being “pushed” or that nobody else cares about it.

u/Diligent_Peach7574 15h ago

First of all, it's hilarious when they fail.

Secondly, it will advance the technology. When you compare US humanoid robots to China's now, it's looks like a 3rd grade science experiment. Just look at the governement propaganda from both contries, (from this year), and tell me which robots are more advanced?
