this could call for some experimentation, like what ants will or won’t cross.
Chalk line? Survey stake laid down? Fresh row of paint? Row of thumbtacks (which doubles as a tire test)? Road Cones? “danger: halloween” flagging between road cones and flapping in the breeze? 2×10 track which leads the robot off of the road/sidewalk and onto an island of some type? Birthing fluid on a plexiglass pane (may require assistance from a farmer)?
So many possibilities for the rolling ones!
Sure easy to steal the whole Unit, somebody will have a backyard full of them….Need someone riding shot gun! A shot out between Clones…Yep dumb
Steal them. Hack them. Reprogram them. The Chinese are likely already on it.
Nice!
Now what if one was to, say, carry a bomb, or something?
Asking for my friend, Mo…
They’re in constant communication with home base. The only way to interfere with that is with a grounded Faraday cage, and even those aren’t proof against high-frequency cell phone signals.
That’s not the only way to interfere with their communication. Back in the 1980s I wasn’t in a grounded Faraday cage but I still didn’t get blown up.
Hack home base.
Silly Hats.
It looks like a crock pot on wheels.
If I should trip over one of these things, I will stomp it flat. Let’s see how long it will scream.
Another round of technology for which there was no need.
“Another round of technology for which there was no need”.
It only needs one round to end that piece of technology 🙂
Ironically, that delivery drone sitting on the launch rail looks eerily like the German “buzz-bomb” of WWII.
