    Idiots are creating and walking into a nightmare of their own creation. They think they will use it to fight their foreign wars and colonialist enterprises but don’t seem to understand it will affect them as well.

    This robot did not finish the marathon without being controlled by a human. There is sufficient evidence that the robot by Honor fell down before the finish line and needed a team of people to get it back up and rebooted to finish the marathon. Also there is video footage of a person following the robot with a RC controller guiding it to the finish line.
