For a brief moment I thought this would be about something like robotic polo ponies, and considered the idea that four-legged high agility, high endurance robots had advanced significantly without me noticing.

And i thought it was about those polo shirts and replicas of the horse logo on the “fake” t-shirts.

Me too, I guess I don’t think of “replica” and “clone” as synonymous in the context of animals.

Seems like a carefully chosen term, maybe clone being too controversial.

I think replicant would be a fun term though. :)

Though we are not yet competitive in the Argentinian Polo clone wars, we are making significant progress - https://www.satyress.com/

A concerning amount of that product page is spent explaining how it has to slow down to pass through doorways, its inability to turn around in hallways, and its weak points you can use to disable one with a knife or gunshot. I feel like I'm reading a tutorial for how to defeat a tricky enemy in a video game.

that's a forward thinking robotics company right there. putting in weakspots for when the centaur robot revolution begins. so we have a chance.

This has to be some kind of kink thing. Not judging, just how it looks from first appearances.

That'd be alot more ethical than the current horse racing industry if it were the case.

Humans riding racing robots id watch, but not horse racing.
