It’s like RoboCop, except the robots are villains helping human villains villain more comprehensively.
Can’t wait to see the way New Yorkers are gonna fuck with those things.
A man in a grimy, rain-soaked Elmo costume will be riding one through Times Square
Put a sock on it’s head
It’s gonna end up on the subway tracks
Guaranteed less than one week before one of them comes back covered in graffiti.
These things are literally the reason that god gave us roving gangs of hooligan youths. Make us proud, hooligans.
If you don’t want them, have your quadcopter (anonymous, DIY, not registered and factory made) drop a net or release paint on them.
If you really don’t like them, see if they are properly shielded with a microwave beam. (Prediction: they aren’t. Shielding something so articulated is very had.)
If Battle Bots taught me anything, the correct response to these are wedge robots.
God damn the amount of our tax dollars we just hand the cops so they can fucking pretend be superheroes, for the wealthy, is absurd.
How vulnerable are they to Star Wars AT-AT tactics (aka, rope/cables)?
Not much at all actually, the thing is more an r2 d2 then an at at , idk why they put the dog robot as the thumb nail but this is what it looks like.
I can’t see the pic for some reason. Are they using the same ones that “committed suicide” by “drowning” themselves in Washington DC?
Just looked it up, lol, yeah those ones
Cable nets? Pit traps?
The double swinging logs that smash it from each side is the way to go!
Aim is critical in such devices. Por que no los Tres?!?
That shit is gonna be fun to hack
Onto the tracks it goes.
Idk if I would call 400 pounds “hulking”. My motorcycle weighs more than that and I can pick it up fairly easily if I drop it on accident (which I have never done obviously).
(only discreetly)
Only in my driveway at 1mph…
Getting Code 8 part II feels.
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! WE ARE THE DALEKS!
