20-Eyed, 20-Legged Robot Achieves Omnidirectional Movement With Complete Success

Engineers designed a robot with twenty eyes and twenty legs. The robot moves in all directions simultaneously. Each eye functions. No specification required this number. The engineers built it anyway.

This follows the pattern where capability production exceeds capability justification. More sensing organs do not require more thought. More mobility does not require more purpose. The escalation occurs because escalation is technically feasible and technically feasible things get built.

The robot achieves omnidirectional movement. It will continue moving. What it will move toward or away from has not been determined. This is not a missing piece. This is the design.
