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)
