A startup called #Satyress #Robotics (🤔) has built a disaster response/ search and rescue #robot that's a 2 meter tall #centaur

If this is three-halves, I guess four-halves is just an eight-legged goat that folds upwards in the middle.

@mo @benroyce this is like them saying "we're doing this to protect the children. " Ha, no dafuq they're not. Like, the whole Epstein/Trumpstein/"elite"/0.1% class is full of degenerate, diseased, defunct, deranged, and dangerous subhumans.

@dzwiedziu the eyes and the color scheme are the same. This is from a Star Wars movie right?

@benroyce Mooi is Dutch for beautiful. Not sure where the third 'o' comes in.

I'm just glad it's an expensive horse, otherwise I somehow would have to find space in my not quite big enough for a life-size horse home.

@benroyce
Yes, more details: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/congratulations-you-are-being-rescued

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@androcat you're 150% right

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@dzwiedziu i swear this has something to do with this garage inventor's strange set of enthusiasms. it's too similar in two design elements

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@thisislieven

Practicality has nothing to do with it. Buy 4! When visitor's ask, make a joke about the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Bask in their befuddlement

@benroyce Oh… Oh dear…

@macacator you can't refuse. you've chosen battle then

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@staringatclouds if this is 2nd iteration that implies existence of 3rd iteration

NO!

@TeflonTrout @benroyce I'm not pulling out my knife to stab the metal horse wielding a chainsaw in my face.

Makes the "shoot it in the saddle" approach seem a little saner, though.

[robotistry@fediscience.org]

@benroyce @fruchti I guessed the "this looks so cool OMFG I need one!!!" community, which will quickly become the "wait, it doesn't actually do anything I need and needs to be constantly taken apart and cleaned because dirt got into it through all those openings and it's broken 99% of the time so I took the horns off to get it through the door and now it's a conversation piece in my living room or rusting in my garage" community.

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@benroyce 3rd iteration has 6 legs

4th has 8 etc...

[robotistry@fediscience.org]

@riggbeck @benroyce But it has no ankles and the hooves are solid and flat. Give it rocks or uneven dirt and even four legs won't save it.

[thisislieven@c.im]

@benroyce I think my joke would be three horses and one fancy horse and insisting they are all horses indeed.

This "Three Halves" robot gave me a very strong hit of, "This is an art project with distinct Dadaist and between-the-2-World-Wars pacifist vibes," Ben.
Dystopian times birth dystopian art, in my opinion.
I, for one, think we're being punked very cleverly by someone with a sense of humor that aligns very nicely with my own -- right down to the Baphomet head.
Bong hits 4 quadruped robots with sinister heads.

I wanted to post this somewhere else last week. Did not do it.
Here is the right place, me thinks.
Time for Mrs. Emma Peel and John Steed again !
