Supposdly, robots wouldn't need oxygen, but it is still possible to drown.They only reason for a robot to need air is if they ran on a internal combustion engine. But that would be impossible unless every refill station was a gas pump. Also, Qoute would probably get two miles per gallon on gas.(No gasoline engines) Soo.. how in the world does Qoute drown!?!?!?!?

That's kindof what happens. There is extremely little cannonical information on how Quote and Curly work, but there is this:

Surface-developed robots have limitations on their operation underwater. If they are submerged for too long a period, their system automatically shuts down to avoid short-circuiting.

So basically it sounds like water eventually seaps into their bodies, and they shut down so they don't short circut. And I believe that the water stays in the body until someone drains it, because I'm pretty sure that's what was going on with Curly.

I'd be really great at procrastinating if I ever got around to it.

Funny thing last night. I read the same exact thing in a robot operations manual in a dream.

Well yeah, they actually say in the game that it short-circuits them, and you have to drain the water out. Technically the word "drowning" still makes sense since it only implies death by water, not inherently human asphyxiation.

But yeah there you go, you hit the nail on the head dude.

I agree with this. Also, the air tank seems to make a bubble shield, instead of actually providing air. So maybe it more of a water repelling shield than a actual "air tank"?(That runs on hydroelectricity?)

That doesn't explain why Quote runs out of breath though. If they were going to short-circuit it would probably just happen rather than always after an identical amount of time that resets the moment they can take a gulp of air. I blame science :critter:

...You have to take it apart before the water short-circuits the mother-board. Besides, at least you didn't have to fish yours out of a toilet. :balrog:

That's the most logical explanation so far. :debug:

...Blaming science makes as much sense as Quote running out of breath. :pignon2:

It's likely that the countdown is how long before his body automatically shuts down and that his body can only eject the water while still active. Of course he can't pump out water while still submerged else it would create a vacuum or just cycle more water in, the water in his body needs to be substituted with air.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Science!
