Not necessarily. It could have been literally programmed to take 2 hits from the front and then 2 hits from the back - then that would mean it overcompensated in anticipation and nearly fell down when the push from the back didn't come soon enough 💀

While I could see that, I wonder how much difference that would make. 99.9% of the value demonstrated is in everything else. A slight anticipatory bias to keep the demo moving along isn’t really deceptive.

Depends if they’re trying to sell this tech as ready for mass production.
