Robot Coupe R 2 Dice (120V/60/1)

D0 No Radio — No radio at all. It cannot phone home.

The unplug test

You press the physical On button, the induction motor spins at its fixed 1725 rpm, and Off or the safety interlock (opening the bowl lid or feed lead) stops it instantly. Pulse gives short bursts for precision cuts. There is no clock, no memory, and no vendor server anywhere in the loop — cutting or dicing a batch requires nothing but the machine, an outlet, and the disc you loaded.

Why this tier: Robot Coupe USA's own specification sheet describes the entire control surface as 'built in on / off / pulse buttons' on a direct-drive induction motor with 'no belt', lists only electrical ratings (120V/60/1, 7A, NEMA 5-15P, delivered with cord and plug), and shows ETL electrical/sanitation and cETL certification marks. No app, WiFi, digital display, or programmable feature appears anywhere in the two-page document.
