First published in Astounding Science Fiction (February 1944 issue), by Isaac Asimov, this Science Fiction Short Story is about another instance when robots don't function as intended, so the field-testers of US Robotics and Mechanical Men Corporation have to figure out why.In the asteroid belt, Powell and Donovan are working with a new prototype robot, DV-5 (also known as Dave). Dave's design is a central robot with six additional robots networked to function as subsidiary devices. They function within acceptable parameters while supervised, but under certain conditions they stop working for hours at a time. The pair of field testers worry that if they don't figure out how to fix it (or at least what's causing it) they'll lose their jobs. Unfortunately, during one of their covert observations, they get trapped by a cave-in while Dave is malfunctioning. If they can't get him to work properly, they'll die.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })"Catch That Rabbit" has been reprinted four times; I, Robot (1951), The Complete Robot (1982), Robur 10 (1985), and The Asimov Chronicles Fifty Years Of Isaac Asimov (1989). | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: DV-5 is designed to be a central robot with six additional robots networked to function as subsidiary units. It should be capable of mining asteroids without supervision. At least, that's what the engineers who built him say. Field testers Gregory Powell and Mike Donovan have discovered a problem, and they'll lose their jobs if they can't figure out a solution soon. | |
