this aint really a robot but it's an amazing achievement for technology to me, and that should be all from me

I'll go find more robot hopefully

Huh? It's a theremin, an electronic instrument that will be 90 years old next year. The only amazing achievement here is that wholly biological lady's impressive dexterity with it.

Yeah, I thought it had to something more like "steampunk" technology rather than modern technology

It still does fit [altough by stretching] my definition of robot, in the same way an elaborate wood puppet or a vehicle would

Yeah maybe machinery is the term I'm looking for?

It doesn't remotely fit the definition of a robot, even by stretching it.

A robot is a machine that performs tasks automatically. Where you draw the line at how automatic a robot is could potentially result in stretching the definition - what degree of preparation or instruction constitutes an automatic action?

A theremin is a musical instrument. It's an electronic instrument but it's a fully analog thing, it's not like a Yamaha keyboard, you can't program it. It has no autonomy or even potential for autonomy, it literally won't make a sound unless someone is in front of it operating it. It's entirely outside the definition of robot, no matter how stretched.

Even if you were to discard that line of thought and decide that "a mechanical device is a robot regardless of the degree to which it's being operated by a human" - which is definitely wrong but seems to be "your definition" of a robot since you suggest puppets and vehicles are robots - a theremin has no moving parts. It's an entirely electric device, it's not a mechanical one. The only moving part of a theremin is the person operating it.

Sorry to go off on one here. It just strikes me as odd that someone would make a robot thread titled "robot thread" and then feel fine with not only posting something that unequivocally isn't a robot but would also to try to come up with an excuse for it. By your example I could go on to fill this thread up with webms of cars, or hell, just anything that runs off electricity.

Of course, maybe I'm in the wrong for sperging out over this when, depite the title of the thread, in the OP you say "Machinery and technology funny or interesting stuff. Everything's welcome" which broadens the subject of the thread even further. By that criteria I could fill this thread up with webms of cavemen using stone tools.

also, for >>1846783

thank you for your correction
Yeah I used the term robot incorrectly, but as you noticed I was going for a not so strict policy

You could fill this thread with caveman with rocks by definition but I'd like the rock to be some sort of contraption they should flash have some steam or do a beep boop

That's my silly definition, but dont think I dont know you are correct

Posting some Battlebots.

>>1848880
Serious question: this is nice and all, but why haven't anyone in these robotics and battling comunities made these fucking huge already?
Like these size of small car huge, with combustion engines, multiple operators for different weapon systems and all?
Is it budget restrictions?
I mean the rc modelling community gets crazier by the day with modelling of vistually everything under the sun, and some of these models (mostly planes) are already bigger than your compact car. Why cant these follow suit.

>>1850211
IT'S TOO BAD SHE WON'T LIVE
BUT THEN AGAIN WHO DOES

>>1850080
Probably because if anyone built a battlebot the size of a car, they'd most likely go to jail for creating a real weapon that can kill a lot of people.

Those tiny battlebots are deadly, too, but you can hop over it or flip it over with a broomstick. A car sized one could easily just kill anyone near it.

And the REAL long short of it is, car-sized ones would warrant laws and regulations and no hobbyist is wanting to get an actual "you will be penalized by the law if something goes wrong" license for a battlebot.

I just can stop thinking about the person who made this. In this limited field of view we know this person has at least 4 cats and 2 robots.

Battlebot types aren't tiny at all like the Japanese ones in the fist of the north star teleports behind you webm.

Plus the general lack of reaction from the cats makes me think this happens fairly regularly. Any cat I've ever owned would freak out if that robot came anywhere near them.

>>1849970
That's some really impressive driving by the lil' bulldozer guy. Especially early on when he's pressing the advantage as much as possible, to try and keep the flywheel from spinning up again.

>>1848880
Man the guy that pilots tombstone is an absolute cunt. He will go back and completely destroy an opponents bot after he's won.

>>1854524
I was wondering if they were still going for that, shame it wont be live.

But that's what people want to see. I got bored of Robot Wars and Battlebots since people would always win by just knocking the other guy into a hole. I wanted to see robot carnage!

There are different weight classes, so the matchups are approxinatly fair and to be quite honest, the lighter classes are more interesting to watch than the heavier classes. Heavy bots are huge slabs of armor, while the lighter bots are more creative.

Feel the American's showing off Eagle Prime is going to bite them in the ass. Like shouldn't you be holding your cards instead of letting your opponents see what you have in store?
