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.
