There are TWO people with these robots???

Haha that does make the most sense since it fits.

 It's a different situation with the M100 because although there is room
for a normal socket (not zif) with a dip chip in it, the pinout is
non-standard, and there is no room for a socket plus a pinout adaper with
it's own socket. Plus there are old commercial roms and new accessories
like REX that only fit in the original socket with the original pinout that
you want to remain compatible with.
