Everybody knows. Why do you think they film close-ups of Hiiro eating cake?

Okay, I'll bite.

Why do the feet of almost all Japanese mecha have the joint in the wrong place?

They're meant to resemble the arch of a foot. In the few cases where they are a joint, they serve a purpose that human feet don't have (e.g., variable fighters use it for thrust vectoring)

Because for an actual robot foot the bottom one makes no fucking sense.

Why do you say that? I'm curious to explore the reasoning for this sort of design choice.

What do robots need toes for? An arch can provide more general support

>>15619678
Why not both?

Well, why do humans have a joint there? I'm not talking about toes. To me, it seems the joint at that region allows for at least part of the bottom of the foot to maintain contact with the ground even when the lower leg is parallel to the ground -- like when dropping to one knee or crouching.

I'm for that... Although I'm not sure what function the joint at the arch serves. Why don't humans have one there?
