Q&A: Is this regarding Robot attachment to the original Nintendo?

Question by : Is this regarding Robot attachment to the original Nintendo?
Do you remember the original Nintendo in the 1980′s ? There was a Robot attachment that work for a few games but the product did not last long.

I heard a reason it was discontinued because it became self aware and too smart. The manufactures were afraid it would turn against the creators and customers. It would have become a huge panic.

Is this true??

I kind of doubt it. ROB was controlled remotely by the NES console via light flashes from the screen (similar to light-gun games of the day, I suppose).

If they actually HAD created a fully-autonomous smart AI, someone would have written a paper on it. And at it’s size, they’d never be able to reproduce themselves and could be deactivated by stepping on them.
