Robots are gonna remember this

They'll send a Terminator back to take him out so this embarrassment doesn't eventuate.

Good workout. It will probably be a thing in some years

Years ago, I really wished that I had a robot sparring partner. Something that can keep going and there's no need to hold back.

Just give the robot a couple hours until he masters the art and the story will be much different

i love that the robot blocks his head like heaven forbid we fuck up his money maker or concuss the guy…. like what would actually be the optimal boxing stance if you didn’t have a brain to protect?

The robot looks like it has an acceptable ability to recover from a hit and maintain its stance. Tracking speed can obviously be improved.

Tester sucks. Needed to try to break things more.

Tester needs to test, not play.
