If you really watch the reveal video a number of times and look hard at the individual mechanisms, they're not that complicated.
Batman has an arm, a short elevator, and a roller collector.
Robin has a short elevator and a little door mechanism.
"Catwoman" has some way to fall over and the spool that pulls the containers in.

The little engineering details that make this robot so great are what I marvel over. It's not complicated conceptually, but the whole thing is a brilliant, elegant solution to this years game.

If the 148 machines don't go far in divisional eliminations, I'd be very,very, surprised.

It really hasn't though. So far the general consensus seems to be in awe.
But yes I do agree. It's an amazing design and I'm actually kind of jealous.
