This is NOT a robot its an RC biped
In other words, they know. The games preferentially favor fully automated bots. But that's a really high bar, so they also don't make you go home if your team can't achieve that in every event.
If RC is good enough for robot wars it's good enough for this!
But Robot Wars was up front about this use of remote control. The ccp hides it and miss labels them as "robots" which implies self controlling.
Also robot wars was a tv show, this article is pure propaganda lies to make it seem china came up w/ something new that the US and Europe had down 15 years ago or more.
It's not hiding it... It's in the rules.
You're acting like this is one monolithic ccp program, but there are engineering teams from many universities and companies competing here. This is in fact a lot like Robot Wars, it's just a flashy robotics competition, there are a lot of these.
The Chinese government didn't build any of these robots, none of them. They don't have any claim to have invented something new, because they didn't invent anything. What I'm saying is, your complaints don't make any sense.
Don't bash the article before you read it.
Glazing the ccp as these are NOT ROBOTS, they are glorified toys that the rest of the world developed 15 years ago and the ccp thinks they are innovators on stolen tech.
All companies and universities fall under the ccp control, aka the chinese government. So yes they built them. How out of touch are you or are you a shill?
Show me on the doll where China touched you.
China, no. ccp yes, they are evil. Tell me about Tienanmen Square in 1986? The lies on how Hong Kong was supposed to be hands off for 50 years and the no honor ccp reneged. Tell me about the "Belt and Road" initiative to enslave poor countries. Then that same project are "tofu dreg" and kill locals?
Zambia and the ccp killing a entire river because safety is not a concern.
Biggest vocation is food delivery in mainland as the economy is in free fall. Factories are burning because they haven't paid employee's in 6+ months and there is no recourse as the ccp cuddles up to the factory "owners" so the workers torch them.
So shill would you like me to go on? I can do this for days. Lets talk about the bridge collapses and that dam that failed in Guangxi? 3 Gourges is going to pop soon and thats going to be a Biblical event... Oh and the flooding as there are fake drainage as the land of short cuts and facades has to deliver.
Do you watch the China show with serpentza?
Among others and I used to work SIGINT so I have more than a cursory understanding of this enemy.
I do like Winstons new channel with old school video and computer gear. Blast from the past :)
Ah, yep. I remember him talking about it, but haven't watched any. LGR is also very very good for old tech
Its definitely easier to double down rather than admit you've been wrong most your life about this, I suppose.
My life is perfect, don't project your failings on me.
Tell us about Minnesota ICE murder 2026 or Kent State 1970, or the Minnesota 35W bridge collapse.
You mean the woman that used her car as a deadly weapon and hit an ICE agent? Or the knob that was causing issues, kicked a tail light out of an ICE vehicle and pulled a gun of Federal officers?
And Kent state, this is the best you got. I listed ccp transgressions from the last 24 months, you have to go 56 years back? Wow, talk about "whataboutism"
You best get a full nights sleep, pack a lunch because I can do this for days. And if your gonna bring lame ass engagements like the above I'm gonna make you look even more stupid that you are already doing on your own.
But since you brought up Kent, where in US history did we run over unarmed college students with tanks and APCs? Only in ccp china!
You might be past the age of learning new things.
I'm not the on that has a sub room temp IQ spouting off about nonsense. Now go get your crayons and do your best to color withing the lines...
You really want to give the ccp all the credit? Weird. Are you a ccp shill?
So that show we mentioned, robot wars, are those robots? I mean it's right there in the name, but is that just propaganda? These are all manually controlled.
What about that Boston dynamics dog, spot? Is that a robot? Because those can be controlled manually too.
I think you need to adjust your definition of "robot", because you seem to have it wrong.
Reading isn't your strong suit, thats ok considering how education is going these days.
Robot Wars is tv, aka not a government run propaganda campaign.
Boston Dynamics and I quote you
Keyword "CAN" be controlled manually. But still can act on its own as a robot/autonomous.
No I use the definition of robot in spirit of Isaac Asimov.
And the ccp glazer/shill tries to call the person out shitting all over the ccp as a ccp shill. very interesting.
You have the lack of understanding of what a robot is, not me there pal.
