This 2014 short film was presented by Dust in 2016. It has since disappeared from Dust.

Looking at the thumbnail for this on YouTube, the central character (a CGI robot) reminded me of the main character from More. But once I actually started watching the short film, I found it more reminiscent of Wall-E (and I'm not alone in the latter comparison). There's a small mining robot on a desolate planet, searching for and collecting green gems. Whenever its power gets low, it has to stop and launch a sort of parachute into the sky to absorb sunlight to recharge. Anyway, eventually the small robot encounters a larger, excavator-type robot, which is collecting the same kind of gems. (Neither robot can talk, btw, so they only communicate through their actions.) Each robot has its own advantage, so they start working together and sharing the gems they collect... until the time they find an odd number of gems, at which point a battle ensues over which one will get to keep the last gem. It has kind of a downer ending, but it's definitely interesting, from a standpoint of moral philosophy, or whatever.
