That is mostly me. I came up with the idea on here and then made a Speculation forum about it explaining why I thought it could be true. Also can there not be more then one type of robot on the show? The white-robots in the opening could just be his personal protection robots (White Fang do seem kind of murder-happy if what Weiss said is true), while the ones on the train could just be guard bots. Lastly Point 1 and 2 somewhat contradict each other. You doubt that the guy in the opening is making androids, but then if Penny turns out to be an Android then the guy is making androids. This would mean that the guy could be or hired a mad scientist to make incredibly powerful creations to defend or eliminate threats, something he would want to keep on the down-low, even from his daughter so Weiss wouldn't know Penny. Penny is also very sheltered, so Penny herself could have just been in a lab all this time.

If it is the bridge to the high class area of Vale, then that could mean that the big guy could be the head the the Schnee Dust Company. Weiss wears the logo on her back, so the others could as well.
