So here is something, as far as we know that big Freckles robot may or may not be driven by an actual pilot. I saw this because it seems like something that the robotics guy made for actual military use, but the White Fang may have stolen it. Anyway, the guy seems to have some kind of control chip on his forehead and as we have seen, most robots under his control seem to operate on their own. This could mean that someone could control the robot remotely instead of actually driving it.

Now all that brings me to my point. If the White Fang stole that model, is it possible that his company (in the event that it is not the SDC) is also a target of the White Fang and knew they would take it. Because of this, he programmed it to attack any Faunus it found; then when it activated it eventually got out onto the street and started attacking Blake and Sun simply because they were Faunus and were being used as bait to lure it somewhere so that people wouldn't get hurt. This would explain why Yang, Ruby, and Weiss would be there when most of the fight scenes with the robot had Blake and Sun (with some Yang and Neptune on motorbikes).
