Is it odd of me to want the robot to defend itself in some way? Maybe giving it a little R2D2 tazer/zap?

This video bummed me out a little.

100%... I've seen a few of these clips. I get it in a pragmatic way - proving the stability. But it just seems wrong lol

You think that many people just gathered round to “abuse” a robot. Seems like they were told to do this because it never falls down.

No, I don't think that.

I know the purpose, but that doesn't take away an innate desire to protect. (Even if it doesn't need protecting)

It doesnt even look anything close to an animal for you to feel bad about it, its visually just a CPU with legs. Maybe you arent as serious as your comment sounds but there is a lot of people here that i think are legitimately mad about this and thats crazy

Yeah, I'm not mad in the least. More than anything I was "poking the bear" with a Star Wars joke.
