I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
The word robot as we know it was only 9 years old at that point with no Internet or television. Kinda crazy it disseminated so fast

It doesn't look like it had really solidified in meaning yet. That looks to just be an articulated wooden cat toy with no kind of automation, not something anyone would consider a robot today.

The original Robots are explicitly described as organic and more like what we'd call clones, though they are at the time time described as manufactured and assembled from component organs like parts. Just saying, the term's been used broadly from the start. That said, the themes of social satire are on point, especially given the robot uprising happens because the robots are given the ability to feel pain.

I just checked and apparently there's enough details in the movie to conclusively determine Judy is 24 at the time the film's set. So this would only have to be set 4 years in the future, assuming their laws match ours.

Police searched a home in the Las Vegas area on Monday night in the long-dormant murder case of Tupac Shakur, according to police.

"LVMPD can confirm a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada on July 17, 2023, as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation," Las Vegas police said in a statement. "We will have no further comment at this time."

Then good, the only international sports event I want to hear Russia being invited to is 'chasing Putin across a field and kicking him'
It's not as well known as Football but a valid sport we can all enjoy.
