Basically, your definition says a robot is "capable" of doing tasks autonomously. Ours are certainly capable of that, they do it for 15 seconds each match. That qualifies them as a robot, no matter how much teleoperation comes after it.

My post explicitly mentioned "
complex series of actions". I do not feel that firing, driving forward while running a pickup motor, driving backwards the same amount and firing again qualifies as complex. There is no decision making. If it did qualify as "complex" you could call wind up toys robots too.
