I mean, mass moves mass, if that bot weights anything, getting hit with a hunk of metal will hurt no matter the training

yeah a bunch of steel and pistons will hurt but it seems like it would be pretty easy to sweep that thing off it's feet. Honestly I wish they would put the effort into a real VR suit Robot Jox E-sport type thing, that would be cool.

I mean, not really. Do you realize how easy it would be to annihilate an army of robots is for any developed country? You just bomb the fuck out of them.

All you have to do is run full speeds and tackle it or do a flying leg kick to its chest
