Never underestimate dumb teenage bullshit, robot. Hershel took the opening to jab his shinai at the back of it's knees as it lunged, almost falling forward himself with how much force he was trying to put into it. He stumbled but so did the robot, falling face first into the stream near the waterfall.

"Ah- stay away from the water!" Hershel warned, probably unnecessarily but the last thing they needed was Heiji being crispy from electrocution and sporting his own fro, that was Hershel's trade mark, dude, back off. The menacing robot sputtered and sparked as it tried to get up, letting out a highpitched sort of shriek before collapsing in the stream.

Hershel stared at it a moment before letting out a breath he had been holding. "For goodness's sake, what a night."
