NGL - I kinda want to run around on an AI robot panther. Can we get 4 more, paint them different colors, and merge them into a giant robot? That would be sweet!

I can't wait to ride this shit into battle.

I'm waiting for the laser sword as a standard option. It's always a bad idea to buy the first model anyway, and you know it's coming. I mean who in their right mind rides a robot horse without a light sabre?

"...it is now the 12th year of the 2nd American Civil war. The 3rd Roboticized Cavalry of Free America rode yesterday onto Texan soil, assisting Mexican forces in deterring Trumpanic Raiders from the fledging Mexican territory. Casualties were moderate, but sustainable..."

This is a concept for a hydrogen powered robot for 2050. There is no shot they're developing this and even if they are it's literally a quarter of a century from now. This is just marketing BS.

I see right to repair nightmare. It's basically disposable.

  • Ask your shade tree mechanic about fixing this one.
  • I have one that has been sitting in my garage for three years untouched and won't start - best offer
  • it rides fine there is just a small screeching sound in reverse
  • sometimes it powers off suddenly and collapses at 30 MPH
  • previous owner used it on the snow/beach
  • it fell in the pool once
  • it doesn't have a charger
  • it gets really hot while charging

If every instance above is not a giant red flag you'd walk away from, I have a great deal on a bridge to sell you. It is a novelty at best and worthless on any second hand market other than the dealer itself which is basically slavery for the average person. There is not a single standardized part that can be second sourced on such a toy. When the manufacturer no longer supports it, the thing will be disposable. So from a dystopian burn down the world perspective this is a great leap forward. Super cool concept, but unless there is real universal parts standardisation and the thing is fully open sourced, this is like everything that is wrong with the world right now; neo feudalism.

Is this necessary? Seriously, we are heading into a climate crises (or more accurately, already in one) and now we need to manufacture this shit?

I'm sorry but we already have horses. Things we don't have which should be ridable are things like spiders, mice, sausages, millipedes, cats etc. Make one of those!

edit: looks like it walks more like a cat than a horse. I guess we're getting a cat.
