They scored a great deal on Roombas with turret mounts. Takes out the enemy and gets up all the sand.

So are these things controlled remotely? What if there is a short and the guns start going off unintentionally?

 

[bluehorizon]

Frink: You've got to listen to me. Elementary chaos theory
tells us that all robots will eventually turn against
their masters and run amok in an orgy of blood and
the kicking and the biting with the metal teeth and
the hurting and shoving.

[BentValve]

Thats bad ass, they should send a million of those over and we can all sign up to run a few of them.

Get those troops home and Anandtech members will take over duties in Iraq.

Robots are strong, and they're made of metal, and they eat your medicine (needs Quicktime)

Hey, every guy has issues. Leave me alone. And yes, robots that do the killing will be dehumanizing the aspect of killing.

If we could only go back to the days of knives and swords where a man has to be responsible for his actions.
