the robot (ROB) sucked nintendo just included it cuz it allowed the to sell the NES as a toy, not as a video game system which was important cuz of the critical situation in america back then (video game crash of 83/84).
ppl didnt want to buy a video game system, so nintendo marketed it a a toy. clever. lol.
These peripherals was really just there to get past the mistrust that the market had of video game systems due to the video game crash of 1983. This is especially true of ROB, with very few games, they simply latched on to the success of the film "Short Circuit", and sold the NES as a robot with games. Fortunately for us, it worked!
well yeah if i held a controller like 0:11 i might need a robot to help me too

ROB was included because the toy stores wouldn't sell the NES without having a "toy" of some sort.
