Yeah, you could say that. I'm still working on upgrading it and testing new things, but right now it's just a robot. [ there are reasons he made the first robot, but roboji is just a replacement and something shoma likes working with. ] Its speed, recognition and weight-bearing capacity are all a lot better than before. So it's pretty useful for that sort of stuff.
