It's used in every training hall scene unless it's a dual between two characters. But it doesn't make any sense. Actually, it does. It's safer than Grimms, and more customizable. Say you want to train against only ranged enemies, you fight ranged-only Robots. You want to practice full-melee, then fight melee robots.

Grimm are hard to capture (supposedly), and you can't customize your training beyond what kind of Grimm to fight against. Not to mention the strongest and biggest Grimms may well be almost impossible to capture. And, if they are, they would be burned quickly through training, and they can't simply get more Grimm just like that.

And it's more effective than a stationary not-responding dummy, don't you think? That's the thing. As convenient as it might seem, they make it sound like if Beacon Academy is so rich that it literally buys thousands of drones just so that the students can destroy as many as they want and as much as they want whenever they want. Remind me again why Jaune never used these training bots in the original series?

I know I won't get a proper answer but I still find it hard to believe that Beacon is the most rich place in the world. Not to mention that my issue is lack of creativity. Seriously! Can't they think of something else? Everytime a character gets mad the writer does this: Make her/him go to the training hall to destroy some random robots that the school conveniently provides only to meet with someone (90% of fanfics use Ozpin) to give them a pep talk that fixes everything and gives us a happy ending so we can move with the plot.
