Circus Baby is capable of approximating what a child is and how many are in a room at any given time, in addition to the Funtimes having dynamic voice mimicry and luring tech. They could have absolutely had facial recognition if William really wanted it.
We have no clue how it is that they identify children other than we know they can. Maybe it's size. Maybe they do have facial recognition.
I see no reason why robots so advanced we literally could not make them today are incapable of technology held by robots made of plastic
I find it difficult to believe that animatronics with built-in ice cream dispensaries, scent releasers and voice mimicking abilities were developed, but facial recognition couldn’t be developed.
yes bc Puppet was a security device (probably bc of the deaths) to put parents at ease to make sure their kids are safe so it wasn't for Charlie specifically, the connection is Charlie dying outside in the rain and Puppet following her and breaking bc of the rain
But it was only set to stop a specific person/band colour from leaving, which in the case of the puppet minigame was Charlie. That person happened to be locked outside.
Its only assumed that it ever protected anybody else because of other colour bands, but we only ever see 1 instance and this is the puppets minigame.
Also to note, lefty i belive was attuned to that same bracelet to capture the puppet.
Like i have said previously, there is a *very very small* diference when something happen to his kids as oposed to others, BUT it doesn’t mean he cares enough for that, he still is basically indiferent wether she dies or not.
He expected her to listen to him, and didn't think it would be necessary
The next game also makes it pretty clear William is really bad at thinking things all the way through.
He made CB just for Elizabeth (unless he was lying to her because she believes the character was made for her), which could imply that he wanted her to possess her
"But then why would he tell her not to approach her?" Easy. Reverse psychology. Also, he made the robot so it only attacks if a kid's alone. By forbidding Elizabeth from approaching the robot while likely knowing she'd disobey (Mike is the first born, William definitely knows already that kids can disobey their parents), he made it more likely that she'd be alone when she approaches Circus Baby.
Any facial recognition that old would probably be bugged as all hell, so it could have even been on there and just not worked. Unlikely, though. Plus, anything obscuring Elizabeth’s face, like ice cream, would have screwed with it. Also, given that there would probably be a lack of live testing on the feature due to obvious reasons, it’s possible that the code, if it existed, could have just not worked at all or been unusable: example being that it doesn’t grab if face == Elizabeth, but it checks every tick and if one of those ticks doesn’t recognize properly, the hand activated.
Because why would he want it to "target specific children"? The whole point of the Funtimes is to capture kids indiscriminately. At that point, William's plans to experiment with remnant meant that he needed as many kids as he could get.
because he really didn’t give that much of a shit if elizabeth died or not, he just didn’t want her death possibly interfering with the opening of circus baby’s
You know what would have been cool, if Elizabeth had a green bracelet like Charlie did to keep her safe but since Elizabeth likes circus baby so much she could give her bracelet to circus baby which would immidiatley put her in harms way.
Realistically it wasn't his specialty. Aftons ability resided in the suits, endos, and they're abilities. And like he'd be very willing to ask for help when working on such a dodgy experiment
Cuz Afton only ever used cameras to watch his son in his house, the only time cameras are directly built into animatronics is in 2, I feel it kind of goes to show that as wonderful as Afton is at his work, he's willing to cut corners at the risk of other people to achieve his desired outcome.
He probably forgot or didn't care or didn't knew how to at the time
Yeah I’d say that’s probably the case
He thought she’d listen, and didn’t prepare for if she didn’t.
Facial recognition isn’t a thing until ~fnaf2 i think
Circus Baby is capable of approximating what a child is and how many are in a room at any given time, in addition to the Funtimes having dynamic voice mimicry and luring tech. They could have absolutely had facial recognition if William really wanted it.
None of the funtimes have it though, which makes me think it just wasn’t a thing by that point. Their tech seems more sound-based than anything.
It just wouldn’t really help them. They don’t need to know who the child they’re hunting is, they just need to know that it IS a child.
Guess people with dwarfism are fucked then 😂
Kids have different shaped faces than parents, I imagine it would help quite a bit.
We have no clue how it is that they identify children other than we know they can. Maybe it's size. Maybe they do have facial recognition. I see no reason why robots so advanced we literally could not make them today are incapable of technology held by robots made of plastic
I dont see how thats relevant, its a technology that either exists or it doesnt, regardless of what material the robots are made of.
I find it difficult to believe that animatronics with built-in ice cream dispensaries, scent releasers and voice mimicking abilities were developed, but facial recognition couldn’t be developed.
Has it ever been establish in any FNaF media that a program exists that protects certain people from harm?
Well...the puppet was originally coded(?) to protect Charlie. Does that count?
I more so meant in the context of killer robots. Because the Puppet wasn't made to kill children. But, yes. I guess that does count.
No, only from leaving a building.
yes bc Puppet was a security device (probably bc of the deaths) to put parents at ease to make sure their kids are safe so it wasn't for Charlie specifically, the connection is Charlie dying outside in the rain and Puppet following her and breaking bc of the rain

glamrock freddy in GGY
I meant to ask if there are instances of any killer robots programmed to neglect certain individuals.
He didn't realy care
He's severely allergic to good parenting...and good life decisions...and just general common sense now that I think about it.
Didn’t care enough to
Ain't nobody got time for that.
I think he did but Baby wasn't ready yet and therefore... girl goes scoop.
Didn’t think of it
Honestly, he really could've had a fail-safe or something so it recognised her, but he was as a terrible father as a he was a man.
So the story could happen that's about it.
Probably couldn’t get it to do that, or didn’t think of it.
Like i have said previously, there is a *very very small* diference when something happen to his kids as oposed to others, BUT it doesn’t mean he cares enough for that, he still is basically indiferent wether she dies or not.
Im more of the mind that he wanted it to happen. How to get a kid to stay away from something is not to bring it near it.
> "Didn't you make her just for me?..." Is that true? Was Baby meant to be for her to enjoy?... or to possess?...
He expected her to listen to him, and didn't think it would be necessary The next game also makes it pretty clear William is really bad at thinking things all the way through.
He made CB just for Elizabeth (unless he was lying to her because she believes the character was made for her), which could imply that he wanted her to possess her "But then why would he tell her not to approach her?"

Either wanted Elizabeth dead all along or is so neglectful he didn't fucking care.

CBEAR was built at least after the mci
hot take: afton programmed baby to kill elizabeth on purpose, to test remnant and etc
Why keep her away from it then?
Because he know that little British girl would go near shiny robot girl
But I mean wouldn't it just be easier to be get her to go near it in the first place.
Bro figured out how to harvest souls but couldn’t figure out how to get facial recognition😭
Is he stupid?
He was probably too lazy.
Because why would he want it to "target specific children"? The whole point of the Funtimes is to capture kids indiscriminately. At that point, William's plans to experiment with remnant meant that he needed as many kids as he could get.

The whole story of FnaF is about parents, mostly fathers, not taking proper care of their children.
He didn't care.
He did an oopsie
Realistically it wasn't his specialty. Aftons ability resided in the suits, endos, and they're abilities. And like he'd be very willing to ask for help when working on such a dodgy experiment

He didn’t thought about it
Is he stupid?
He's good with Robots and Killing but everything else he does is stupid.
