That robot is definitely quite fast.
See you next Monday, when a new page will be published.

Okay, who pushed the “It’s over 9000!” button?
Man, that quote took me totally unaware. It’s been ages since my DragonBall Z phase
It’s huge, and it snagged a nearby bot for cover as fast as Witty could fire. I wonder if there’s a trope about the bigger it is, the faster it is. In which case the Hoover Dam has probably been everywhere.
Hmm…. HooverZilla…
I knew that action would raise some eyebrows. But, well, robots aren’t particularly slow, nor there’s necessarily a direct relation between size and speed. We all have seen how fast robotic arms in car factories work. As long as there’s enough power to allow that action, a robot would be able to perform it at top speed without errors. And a hacked robot like that, where all their core functions are focusing now on violent actions and self-defense, presumabily “burning” him on the process as battery longevity isn’t a prime directive anymore, probably won’t mind to waste some precious power to avoid being reduced by a kid.
If that still doesn’t convince you, well, I can always play the “dramatic license” card. Witty can jump over moving cars. Big robots can perform ninja moves. And Tom Cruise is able to drive a bike backwards
PID-controlled robotic arms can be rather fast, yes. The question was really more one of momentum and inertia, I believe. If it has the mass distribution and onboard power to move and stop that fast, okay.
Yes, it supposedly is able to perform that kind of movements, if probably not continuously.
Hmm… anyway, if I must come with such an elaborated answer to explain something that should be simple then, my mistake. I’ll tweak next page so the lightning-fast robot movements make more sense (Robomekey sense, not real life se se). The “cool factor” seems to be too problematic this time… John Woo, I blame you.
(and BTW, there’s a top of 5 answers per post, that’s why I’m replying your old one)
I’ve finally chosen to explain it in this page, so the confussion doesn’t carry over. Vicent gives now the hint to what just happened (refresh the page if you don’t see it). That should solve the suspension of disbelief issue.
< – Engineer. We ponder unnecessarily!
Hahaha, no problem. As I mentioned, I knew I was probably going a bit overboard with that sequence. If I were a reader I would have thought or even raised that issue as you’ve done. Yep, I’m that picky, too.
And glad to see that real life engineers can enjoy Robomeks, even when its science is extremely close to the “1.21 gigawatts?!” degree of verosimilitude
Me declaro oficialmente fan incondicional de las cliquea-frases!!
Hombre, Ender! Me alegro de que te gusten esas tonterías. Hay días que me llevan más tiempo que el comentario de la página en si. Ya ves tú.
