You can’t really keep them from getting back up, they won’t stay on their sides perfectly balanced because of the curves on their legs. Even so they could “kick” their legs to push them to be able to get back up.
Just in case you’re wondering in the future if that will work.
can you just approach them and turn them over so they cant get up themselves anymore, would be some fun activism?
Or is that a crime already in such a free country
This is how you start the Great Robot War.
