Anyone who doubts that I will compromise with by pointing out that it would be simpler to have them fold further out of view than it would to explain a ridiculously human looking robot, or how her dress moves out of the way.

They are controlled by the strings as well, and are clearly gunblades. The only thing unexplained about them is how they float.

as for her outfit, the pieces attached to it that look even remotely mechanical are mostly set in such a way that they can't be attached to her body as well, so that's out. her leggings are an exception, but hardly one that proves the rule.

And penny herself, her speach patern is hardly a valid argument given how diverse and odd some of the characters we've seen so far are. Same goes for her actions

Which means the only real thing that would suggest she's a robot is the scene in the car at the end, which could mean any number of things. So no, frankly I have no idea whatsoever why people think she might be a robot of some kind. Though brought up already, there is that power symbol on her swords...I doubt its to turn on the swords themselves. Its more likely that symbol is like the RWBY and JNPR symbols; they represent the character.

Also, Monty did say the characters were going to be allusions to certain fairy tail characters. How could he pass up Pinnochio? I think the similarities and subtleties thus far are too good to pass up.

Yeah...I think Penny is at least a modified human in some way.
