hopes the robot could one day be used for disaster relief or in the space industry

Imagine I'd just fiddle around and build a few neat things and then hope they are going to be useful in outer space ๐Ÿ˜„

These guys 100% have no use case whatsoever for the thing they're building besides "dude let's MECHA"

I can respect that tbh, but pretending and dancing around it is a bit lame

"Disaster relief". One day someone will find this in some abandoned underground research facility on the Moon and realize it's the key to restoring peace on Earth.
