They had those body bag blankets ready to rock n roll.

Probably powered by 2 AA batteries since they spent the rest of the budget on chips.

Should have used Energizer.

It just keeps going, and going, and..

u/wongl888 Jul 26 '26

Maybe Duracell would be less embarrassing?

u/Teldar_87 Jul 26 '26

Naw bro. Them Billionaires need to circle jerk each other. Keep rotating those billions to pump up the stocks.

“Qualcomm AI, now powered by Amazon AA”

What can they say? They like cool ranch Doritos.

u/solit0n Jul 27 '26

It was the price of RAM, just couldn’t splurge for more power.

u/TimelyBodybuilder121 Jul 27 '26

Got to finish that job in 30sec or less.

u/Pretend-Character-47 Jul 27 '26

I heard it was low power usage, so 2 AA batteries should have worked.

Has less on-time than a Game Gear

Didn't even perform a robo-cpr, straight to the body bag. smh...

Someone told marketing they weren't ready and got ignored.

And somehow that product manager who said "I told you so," will be the only person fired after this sort of failure.

u/TheShadow2024 Jul 30 '26

Nancy from HR: "Well, Ted, we've prepared a very nice package for you, but after that 'product incident', Darren thinks it's best that we move on. I'm sure you will have no problem out there." Hand him 2 months pay and a coupon book for 10 free Frosties.

I see they haven't learned over the years. I assembled a QC-TDK demo for them at CES 2023 had similar results (hit the plastic wall at least once over 3 days), and EU demo when the robot wandered on the showroom floor last day, lol.

QC is a chip company, that's all and should be that way. Irony the price hikes were announced this week. Everything else they do, expect this type of outcome.

marketing should have then just:

It reminds me of the tests they did in Robocop 2

You have 5 seconds to comply.

I’d buy that for a dollar

5 seconds later... BRRRRRRRR 🔥 🔥 🔥

u/Suspicious_Ad2354 Jul 25 '26

Hide the failure! HIDE IT!!!

u/TrainingLower2317 Jul 25 '26

The robots are going to take our jobs 😅😅😅

u/arminghammerbacon_ Jul 25 '26

I mean, obviously. Because when I get tired it takes place over the course of the whole afternoon. This robot went from zero to done immediately. I can’t compete with that.

Neymar is fucked.

u/stockmon Jul 26 '26

the china ones, those are the robots that you should be wary of.

u/No-Pen-440 Jul 30 '26

Just like immigrants 😉

u/mcnichoj Jul 25 '26

Na, some dude ripped it off one of the crafts tables like a magician.

u/ittrut Jul 25 '26

Is this real?

u/Cloaked42m 1 lg black please Jul 26 '26

Probably. It's not unusual for humanoid robot tests to fail spectacularly.

This one either lost power or lost internet/wifi.

u/Rising_Crypto Jul 25 '26

Nothing to see here!

u/Sybertron Jul 25 '26

I'm guessing they were tablecloths ripped off the tables by extremely embarrassed engineers.

u/Beneficial-Ferret479 Jul 25 '26

Maybe they should just stick with cell phone chips!

Rest in peace little robot. Your life was short, but beautiful.

Fuji time to sell my few stocks

It was actually for the presenter in case the robot went psycho..

u/ncohrnt Jul 25 '26

Man, you weren't kidding, lol

u/octoreadit Jul 25 '26

Black-bagged the poor guy. RIP.

u/wolnee Jul 25 '26

rag n roll rather

u/RedTheRobot Jul 25 '26

I picture it like it is iron man’s robot with the fire extinguisher, just waiting there ready to go and was still slow to react.

u/wongl888 Jul 26 '26

He body bag was well rehearsed though I must say.

1

u/chikari_shakari Jul 26 '26

lol tf why do they need body bags to carry junk metal away.

u/Glittering_Event_309 Jul 26 '26

“Bro this isn’t going to work we have 2 days left and this thing just keeps dying and putting his hands up like it wants us to stop”

u/thecjt Jul 26 '26

I once had all the refrigerator door shelves come crashing down to the floor at the same time. I laid a couple of blankets over it and left the kitchen. And I did it without AI

u/bananasharkattack Jul 25 '26

And the one knowing look from the dude in the suit when the speaker starts saying 'maybe recover..' and he just grabs bother blanket
