This is done to such tiny details, numerous people considered the whole short to be a rip-off. There is also the way how the pilot's suit displays oxygen meter.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Since this is a non-combat unit, the only way the robot can find its target is movement, so staying still makes the pilot invisible, even if the on-board camera registers his shape as such. The robot is apparently "deaf", too. It's hard to tell how much of the robot's behaviour is the limitations of the unit itself, and how much result of the malfunction.

A space pilot ends up trapped in a rescue pod with a malfunctioning robot...

* GreatOffscreenWar: Not entirely offscreen, but it's just a background event for the plot - the pilot might just as well be a civilian on a civilian flight, and it would change nothing. The big battle still happens on the orbit while he's busy fighting for his life and we are never given any context or details about it.

* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: The robot from the hutch isn't a combat unit, but a maintenance one. It still trashes the pilot like a ragdoll and has enough power to dent reinforced steel - or break itself.
