The replacement arm.


Were we not supposed to be paying attention at this part? Chappie's arm was sawed off just below the shoulder and two homeless people with no experience in robotics or engineering were able to replace it easier than a kid assembles meccano?? Come on. And are the limbs controlled by remote because apparently there is there no wiring.

I'm surmising the robotic parts are modular for easier assembly at the factories, just like automobile parts.

You should be questioning why it was so easy to saw off an arm. After all, they were built for police work dealing with the worst criminals. Such fragility should not have been an issue. Unless such corporate malfeasance keeps the government contractor at the public trough while replacing such parts.

Modular limbs on a robot that's designed for combat? That sounds like a few lawsuits waiting to happen, considering they just popped it in without any real force or tech. I still feel like the biggest issue is the complete lack of circuitry in the arm itself. How does it 'speak' to the robots brain and how is it even moved?

If you had actually watched the movie, the first time Chappie is assembled, Deon explains the lack of complexity of assembling the robot; hence the "Plug and play" line when Amerika attaches the new arm.

Pay attention next time, you retard.

Hey moron, just because they say it works despite being completely devoid of believability doesn't make it any less stupid. If they'd said Hover boards work by filling them with dragon fly's would you be happy with that just because you liked the movie? No, only a mongoloid would be happy with that as an explanation.

What exactly is devoid of believability? The hoses and cables are all protected by the titanium exterior. This is even shown the first time Deon attaches the limbs. I could provide a screenshot if you'd like, dumb ass.

Like I said, you're a retard.

Don't ever critique this film again. Or any of that film for that matter. Don't even do paint by numbers. You'd even manage to f-ck that up.

Are you on your period...or autistic? Or are you just a 13 year old loser who likes to feel all big and important by cussing out strangers from the safety of your Avengers bed-sheets?
You mean to tell me in your world of magic and fairies wires and cables can be connected to each other with a simple popping motion? Electrical cables and pneumatic hoses seal with nothing more than a little push?

Look, I get that you're totally wet for Chappie but don't tell me where I can and can't go on the Internet. You're about as intimidating as a 3-legged chihuahua.

I don't think you have any basic understanding of how mechanics work. Like at all.

When he snaps the arm into place there are a couple of cables and not much else that needed to be plugged. Not exactly hard to do. Sh!t, I've replaced air lines on semis without ever driving one. It's the same concept.

You're acting like each individual limb of these robots require a complex number of hydraulic cables and cylinders in order for its limbs to articulate. Obviously not the case.

F-cking retard.

Holy *beep* you're dumb...I don't even know where to start.

reply

You're right. A robot police force patrolling the streets - totally believable. A sentient robot - totally believable. A plug and play, or self-contained, hydraulic hose - wildly fictional.

If you want documentary type realism I'm not quite sure why you're watching a fictional movie. I don't wanna ruin them for you, but you'll also find magic isn't real and there's no such place as middle earth, so give Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings a miss...

reply

You need to watch the film again. Particularly the scene where Deon is assembling Chappie for the first time in front of the gang. Pay particular attention to when he attaches the arm and what he and America say once he's attached it.

reply

All of these people saying "you should watch the movie again" and trying to seem so intelligent... did YOU see the movie? Did YOU read the post? The arm was sawed off, then another one was plugged in (by some brainless, angry gangsta boys). How can anyone even try to justify that while calling others "retard"?

reply

Yes, the new one was plugged in after they removed the stump.
