During the choreography, one of the robot's arm movements hit the streamer on the back of the head. Thrown off balance, he fell to the floor. He was not seriously hurt, and the stream resumed after a short pause.

A little later, the robot raised its leg and kicked a display case in the studio hard, shattering the glass. The two people present had to jump out of the way.

Just after that, the machine lost its balance and collapsed. It shook on the floor, then stopped.

The robot is about 1.7 metres tall. It is a G1 from Chinese manufacturer Unitree, which the streamer calls T800. According to MyDrivers, he bought it for more than a hundred thousand dollars for a major event, “Stream Fighters 5”.
