Hey guys,

There's been one thing that's been really bothering me for some strange reason: the Dummies in CC, they have no eyes, no sensory modules, nothing that would indicate sight capabilities of any kind! So how the hell do they see?!?!?

Post any explanation you have, and again, sorry for this, but I can't think of anyone better to ask than you guys.

Any smart robotist knows to not put the vital components in the head, but rather in a more well protected area, such as the chest. The optics are probably mounted at the base of the neck or something, like a necklace made of a camera.

They visualize using sonar, and as such don't really need eyes.

That works too, but it wouldn't let them see energy weapons.

Maybe it's located in the middle of their chest? Or maybe they've got an entirely new technology that allows them to see without any visible modules.

a camera located on their abdomen somewhere, with sonar help.

And if you don't put the vital thing in the head, explain to me why the dummies die when they get their head blown off.

They see the same way brainbots or dreadnoughts do.

Magic.

Then why do they die upon a headshot?

Maybe this explains why the AI is so stupid...

They should seriously upgrade to this:

Simple, and can be sprited with one green pixel.

I have a more pressing question. Why the ♥♥♥♥ do you care? It's a game.

I agree with Lambda, but for the sake of argument, just because the eye is not in the head, doesn't mean that the CPU or something similar is in there? ♥♥♥♥, maybe the wireless dongle they use to communicate is there.

derp derp if the eyes get shot off robots die

yeah

if you actually care about it all that much, officially unofficial grif pseudo-science:

broad-spectrum em spectrum detectors in the chest, directional mics on both sides of the head for basic acoustic performance

head contains the secure wireless link between brain and bot, put in the head for greater range and signal power
