The more we do this, the more their tech bro owners will push for allowing these things to defend themselves. Image that little bot in OP’s pic armed with a taser.

A taser can be defeated with cotton and leather layering. Unless they're willing to strap a viable arc weilder to one then there are ways around that, if they do strap an arc weilder to one then free arc weilder.

I can’t wait to walk around daily in my Skyrim armor so I can level up on the pizza delivery bots.

I was moreso referring to flannel and a leather jacket. But if you want to go full Varangian to rob robots I ain't gonna stop you.

Who would win, an robot or a squirt gun?

I’ve had cats you can’t defeat with a squirt gun.

Maybe we can get the cats to attack the robots.
