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.
Put a sock on it's head
A man in a grimy, rain-soaked Elmo costume will be riding one through Times Square
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.)
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)?
If Battle Bots taught me anything, the correct response to these are wedge robots.
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....
Onto the tracks it goes.
Getting Code 8 part II feels.
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! WE ARE THE DALEKS!
