This may be a bit overwrought, I’m on my 3rd watch and can’t identify the moment where breakdancing could be expected, my best guess is when it does a tai chi position at 3m20s, which seems unlikely but perhaps on the nose if you’re western, young, not a dancer, and don’t know breakdancing well, i.e. as a series of static positions moved through slowly.

Maybe folks where still confused by memories of the Australian breakdancer from last summer olympics (?)

What they are stating is:

# Initial robot tai-chis towards the right of the video

# This is a stage act that "cues up" the second robot

# One can expect that this "ta-da" moment will have the presented robot do something

# Instead, the presented robot stands there doing nothing

# We have statues that are hundreds of years old easily accessible. Hence a new statue is not interesting
