Seconds into the performance, the robot tripped itself and fell to the ground. It reportedly got confused by the presence of too many people, after which it tripped and began throwing kung-fu kicks at the performers.
As it moved erratically, it aimed kung-fu kicks towards the performers, who appeared baffled and stepped back cautiously. The situation created concern among those on the field as the robot continued its uncontrolled movements.
The situation was brought under control when its handler ran onto the pitch and lifted the robot into his arms before any damage could be caused.
According to the Daily Mail, no injuries to students have been reported.
