To be fair, I trust Officer RoboFido’s decision making more than Officer Racist McShooter’s. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 13, 13:52 1
- On the other hand a robodog would think a taser does *more* damage than a gun, so... -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:54
Though more seriously it is 'just' an evolution (walking) of the ROV's that have been occasionally used. - JD Apr 13, 13:49
Now prance! Prance dog! Prance I said! -- nm - IAmQale Apr 13, 13:43
Meanwhile, the NYPD (no dog from what I can see) has been at an apartment on my floor for several hours now. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 13:41
They're testing them and are only supposed to be used in apartment buildings where going up the stairs can be dangerous. - Krusty Apr 13, 13:37 7
- They are to take away the insurmountable advantage of high ground. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:46 2
  - Plus they're not well maintained and often the lights are out so they're dark, narrow stairways. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 13:51
  - *quietly files trademark for Robi-wan Kenobi* -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:50
- you don't want to be f*cked up high when *that* breaks down the door. -- nm - Diva Apr 13, 13:41 1
  - That would really mess your head up. Not being sure if it's real life or you just fell asleep on the couch and you're dreaming it all. -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 13, 13:48
- Let's test them right back to the manufacturer (they cost $75,000 each BTW. Imagine what we could do with that money!) -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 13:38 1
  - Oh, I'm not in favor of that sci-fi nightmare. Especially at that cost. But I like the idea of sending something up ahead of the officers - Krusty Apr 13, 13:47
Sit Ubu sit -- nm - Jovian Apr 13, 13:37
WTF happened to it's head? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:34
that's the Black Mirror episode come to life. Nope. -- nm - Diva Apr 13, 13:34
I saw that Black Mirror episode -- nm - JD Apr 13, 13:33
