Which is interesting, because a couple of strips back, the humans' reasoning for allowing the dream machine setup was given as "they're not monsters"; dream machines are considered "basic life support" for robots, along with power charging. However, in the current strip, Rover17 clearly doesn't think of this in the same way - to them, the integrity of their memories is completely optional, unless there's something worth remembering.

I wonder how many days in a row a factory robot might go without using the dream machines, if everything is running smoothly.
The robots are also dangerously selfless and lacking in perspective, especially the inexperienced ones. They tend to neglect anything that isn't work or actively protecting humans.
