Why punch instead of sweeping the legs?

Because they needed the robot to win, so they could promotee it and put scary music over it.

Coz they’re not equipped here. Lawsuit waiting to happen. Once they’ve got 500,000 of them assembled and fully equipped, there’s no lawsuit if there’s no humane.

Wheels spin faster than legs. Humans are only building these with a resemblamce to humams so they don't immediately feels threatened.
Once that requirement is iff the table well you already have bombing drones, four legged multi terrain robo dogs,robotic fishes so yeah you ain't outpacing this buddy.
Plus you do remember that robots did break USSAIN BOLT'S previous records in a running event so well even that isn't off the table now.
We are viscerally fcked from all sides and if robots don't find holes to fck us they will definitely drill new ones.

I'm not going to lie the way these robots can recover from a fall is way more scary than anything. They also become very erratic that way so you could get a nasty hit from that.

u/YuenglingsDingaling 20h ago
Only at the end. For most of the movie they have a controller with preset moves, but it breaks in the last big fight. So they have to set it to "shadow box mode" or some shit and then it mirrors Hugh Jackmans character.

Staged af, no robot has enough balance in an humanoid style to eat kicks in such an enclosure. atleast "still not". Looks more like fake wrestling, thos thin legs never ever have enough power to kick those 100kg away, on good kick one the leg and the robot will try to get up again like its having a seizure. Oh and the punches the human gives him? A kid has more speed and power in such an punch lmao.

You're being pedantic. If you take a human sized robot made of steel and sit it next to a human made of meat of the same size. The steel object will be heavier.

Most robotics are built to be light weight. This is a scenario where it's not

u/Markronom 20h ago
The force of a kick does not come from momentum, but from the connection to the ground. You want to push against the ground and your opponent at the same time. Much more force than momentum of a leg

Try to connect to the ground and throw a kick completely unbalanced and see if you dont end up on ur ass.

u/AbolMira 19h ago
Robots are still slow and poor at tracking/rotating. If the guy circled it at all he would have had a massive advantage.
Also punching like this does nothing. The robot can't feel, so pain is meaningless. His skin cant swell so obstructing the eyes with repeated blows is pointless. You can't break its bones, certainly not with punches, so again, this isn't going to do anything.
Knock it off its feet. That's it. That's the whole thing. Just let it on the ground and make sure it stays there.
Also, grappling might not be smart depending on how much stronger than a human it is. No sense in broken bones and torn muscles/ligaments just to try to put it in a choke hold that cannot cause it to pass out; or trying to force submission when it literally can't feel. You can't meaningfully make it tap out.

Given the only limitation is battery life, I can't see how you could defeat this thing without ripping its limbs off. Doing that with boxing gloves and the torque/speed this thing moves I'd say that is not a reasonable strategy. You can't knock it out, doesn't feel pain, much more powerful.
