@mergan@pleroma.viridianpatriots.com apparently it wasn't a real chess robot, it was a reprogrammed industrial automated arm. very unsafe

@Stellar @mergan it had safety rules for it, kid just played its move as soon as the robot picked the piece up and it went OWO Tasty Finger?
@H3K473 @Stellar At least the kid can brag that it didn't just beat a computer at chess -- they enraged a computer at chess (?) :cat_si:
@a7 @mergan @LukeAlmighty ya was just trying to set the piece down on top of where the kid was putting its piece then it made like a hydraulic press because thats what it is

@LukeAlmighty @mergan @Stellar @H3K473 @sandy Basically, the was placing a piece that the robot was attempting to, and because the piece wasn’t actually on the square, the robot was unable to process that the move finished. It was trying to accomplish it’s task: placing the piece.

There was a logical error on the devs who didn’t think think about this happening.
