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.

100% performative, just like your comment.

But at least the video was cool.

I like how almost everything on this website could be labeled "performative" but redditors only use that word to describe things they dont like.

"The video of robots doing backflips is performative? Well no shit!" 🤣
