A highly agile, deadly accurate, inexhaustable enemy with more strength and less vulnerabilities?

I see you've never gotten sand in a brushless motor, or seen how most of those robots move outside of a choreographed scene, or thought about their battery capacity. :)

All that aside, I think they were talking the morality of it.

10/10 I would rather fight one of those than a human.
Humans are quite durable, adaptive, and agile.
I twisted my ankle once doing a task I'd never done before. I adjusted my footing and carried on. Our current humanoid robots cannot adjust to something like that. They're just not designed in a way that makes them adaptable to changing physical layout.
I might be squishy, but I only have two places that are vulnerable to sand and they come with covers that usually work pretty well, and one of them is mostly redundant.

you spellt "big worthless chunk of metal" wrong :p
