Just in case we ever need a robot to be John Wick.

Robot technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years. Yes, we still don’t know exactly what to do with them yet, but hey, who doesn’t think it’s at least a *little* cool to be served beer by a robot?

Regardless of potential use cases, we still keep churning out these babies, with each robo-iteration getting better (and scarier) than the last. For example, this new robot out of China can not only do flips (boring) but *side* flips. Why? Who gives a shit — just watch the dude flip!
