Why can't anything end happily...

Clearly the smaller robot deserved the extra stone. He is doing most of the job. He is scanning and grabbing and it was his idea. This animation is not about greed. Its about how both die because the bigger and less intelligent one thinks that he deserves the same, regardless of the fact that he doesnt contribute the same. So he physically attacks the small one. This is a perfect portrayal of todays society. Where people violently demonstrate and cause damage, because they dont want to accept that if they want more, they have to do more work.

This really made me think. it was kind of predictable that they would eventually get an odd number but i didn't predict the ending, loved it
