I don't know what's going on but from speculation I saw the thinking is that it has a sensor to maintain balance, and that went haywire. And the flailing you see is the robot trying to reassert balance, based on faulty input

So sort of a robot vertigo?

Or

The #robot uprising has begun?

Malware is a model designed to correct other malfunctioning robots. He was intended to infect and commandeer their operating systems, and ultimately force a fresh reinstall.

But Malware finds these units to be delightfully unique rather than broken. Instead of hacking into buggy bots to change them, he acts as a sort of guardian, identifying and patching their vulnerabilities so they can secretly carry on as they are. Some systems may indeed wind up prey to Malware's viruses, however - databases tracking buggy bots go offline now and then, and suspicion is growing around whether this model is functioning as intended.

This sticker sheet and the corresponding pin design are still available in the Short Circuit pre-order store - you can still get in on the initial fulfillment until surveys and the store close!
