Story Post: Rusty Robot Battle Monitor

Adminned at 10 Jul 2025 21:47:19 UTC

The RRBM allows you to observe Rusty Robot Battles from a safe distance. Turns out we still haven’t cured tetanus in the future and so staying away from shrapnel benefits everyone.

Score 3. Doesn’t really seem futuristic enough but robot wars are fun

Score 2 for the device sounding like binoculars for looking at a more futuristic thing.

Score 4. Just the thing for my bejewelled pleasure cruiser hanging around at L4.

Arguably fails the ‘futuristic’ part of the prompt. Robot battles are already a phenomenon, you don’t need a specialized futuristic device for this when bulletproof glass suffices to contain the shrapnel and protect the cameras, and adding rust changes none of that except for making the affair seem even more primitive.

Rusty does feel a little dystopian. Score 3
