I'm not going to waste my time, as that would imply that I find their show worthwhile.

Remember we're talking about TV here. The vast majority of the writing staff is technologically illiterate. They wouldn't know a robot from a cow, and they sincerely believe that the entire country is as ignorant as they are.

What the photos show is not even close to a robot, it's just a pile of parts zip-tied together. There is no control system, no drivetrain, no power system...nothing. See my comment above.

Exactly. Not knowing the market, they won't get a dime for them.
Seriously, you can watch them cut the lock off the unit, throw open the door and !behold! - pretty robots perfectly staged for the cameras. If you believe that isn't fake, PM me because I have a bridge here in Fort Lee I don't need any more and I can sell it cheap.
Sorry to be a curmudgeon, but fake reality really gets my goat. Especially when the producers of this pap expect us to buy it. How stupid are we really?
