The Remote Robot dropping a rock on Dr. Fukurokov.

As Fukurokov does not actually fight, he cannot be attacked head-on. He instead lets his defensive machinery take care of Tails, for as soon as he approaches, the fox gets thrown into a trap chamber filled with spikes, lasers, conveyor belts, and a lone safe platform. Tails has to blast a way out of the chamber just large enough to sneak the Remote Robot through, in order for it to fly up crawlspaces and ventilation chutes. Then the robot can make its way back to Fukurokov and knock over a conveniently placed rock on a platform to bean the elderly owl right on the head.
