What is their plan when we just pour two meters of concrete on the bunker entrances?

Seems like a well thrown bucket of paint would probably disable those things.

[–] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Have you seen the price of paint lately? Mud might be the better option. From the bottom of a latrine.

Don't even need an emp they probably go down with .22

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I would expect them to be. It seems like a very obvious flaw if not. Though with hubris more obvious things have been ignored before

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They are very much not. They are not actually intended for military combat - more like retrofitted for it.

That's the pr line the robotics company says. While mysteriously also having government contracts

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Drones will be banned soon, so if you have any ideas in that area, you should stock up.

Do you know how to build an EMP?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Buck shot, pit traps, or just cages will be lower tech solutions

If I've learned anything from robot combat shows is that robots can't deal with any entanglement device like strings and nets.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You can build a net gun out of PVC, a sprinkler valve, an air gun nozzle, and a net.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Or just get close to it and throw the net on it. It's not like they're going to bite you. They're mobile surveillance cameras.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yup, classic cartoon-style rope snare would make short work of them.

$300,000 robot dog vs hole with blanket over it.

[–] Big_Boss_77@fedinsfw.app 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've always heard that the ceramic on spark plugs, when smashed to manageable pieces, makes excellent material for destroying electronics when propelled by a 12g round.

Never tried it though...kind of curious.

[–] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We called those ninja rocks when I was a kid. They break car windows really really well.

[–] Big_Boss_77@fedinsfw.app 1 points 5 days ago

Good to know lol

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

Rodeo skills gunna be back in fashion lol

Building a pulse seems difficult. Building something that can generate a pulse is manageable.

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The more important question is: are they very, VERY good boys who like belly scritches and fetching sticks?

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Shame. Maybe with a better firmware...

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 days ago

Spray foam insulation would be more efficient, and it fits in a backpack instead of requiring a giant cement truck.

It could even be mounted to an RC helicopter if the robodog swarms are too thick...

I need to be protected from millions of angry people.

How about robot dogs?

Won't they need maintenance?

We will have maintenance people.

Won't they need power?

We will have a power plant with operators running it.

Won't we need replacement parts?

We will have manufacturing facility with operators running it.

Won't we need to house all the people running our infustructure?

We will build them living facilities and pay them wages.

Won't they want families and a fulfilling life?

We will provide resources for them to prosper.

Isn't that called society, you know, the people that want to kill me?

Thats why we have the robot dogs.
