💥 Russia: Amur Gas Chemical Complex, a Russian-Chinese joint venture that was to be one of the largest basic polymer production facilities in the world (2.7 million tons/year), exploded during final pre-starup stage after 7 years of construction.
6,000km from Ukraine.
See a humanoid crash, break apart, or even catch fire at the Games and think it’s done?
Not even close. Take a look inside the repair area.
Robots come in one after another: damaged joint modules come off, replacements go in, software gets flashed, comms and motion-control checks go green, and they’re ready to race again.
One engineer told me a robot that had a joint failure and caught fire was repaired, sent back into competition the next day, and won gold.
That’s the part you don’t see in the viral crash clips.
These robots aren’t one-and-done machines. They break. They get fixed. Then they go right back on the track.
