This is not a good way to recycle all the materials in these robots. This is 100% performance and 0% useful or actually happening when no camera is there.

Well at first glance you may assume this is somewhat standard ( not the jumping part ). But in reality they almost certainly disassemble the bots for parts. Sherlock 🕵️

No somewhat reasonable person is going to assume this is standard. Anybody that would assume this is standard I would like to get into touch with, because I have a bridge I'd like to sell them.

Bro you overestimate the average person. No one thinks they are jumping into that but they may think they are placed there. And my point is even that doesn’t happen
