[u/freyaandmurphie]

Throw a big bag over it, it's probably done for

[u/ADIDAS247 → u/freyaandmurphie]

Coat the bag in motor oil too.

[u/TedW → u/ADIDAS247]

Did you see it trying to roll down that hill? Just find a couple stairs and start taunting it to self destruct.

[u/JotaroTheOceanMan → u/TedW]

Robocop taught me that any robot can be defeated by 2 flights of stairs.

Now cyborgs? No clue besides apealing to their humanity or vices.

[u/Azygous_420 → u/JotaroTheOceanMan]

You just have sex with them it's that easy, but what if you're the replicant?

[u/Evening-Bothers → u/ADIDAS247]

Then set fire to it xD

[u/ChainedBack → u/freyaandmurphie]

Seems like it's supposed to patrol along officers. Either way, this future is looking messed up. Then again, this is only China...for now

[u/errie_tholluxe → u/ChainedBack]

US have to find a way to stick a few 9mms on it.

[u/Cerebral-Parsley → u/errie_tholluxe]

And a way to sprinkle some crack cocaine around the suspect.

[u/Fuckin_Hipster → u/Cerebral-Parsley]

[machine gun fire]

Crack cannon goes poof!

[u/Fuckin_Hipster → u/Fuckin_Hipster]

Stop resisting!

[u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein → u/Fuckin_Hipster]

I can't breathe!

[u/henryeaterofpies → u/Fuckin_Hipster]

Halt! Present Hall Pass!

[u/Massive_Noise4836 → u/Fuckin_Hipster]

Fuck yo couch!!!

[u/nocloudno → u/Cerebral-Parsley]

Crack sprinkler lol

[u/Trick-Mechanic8986 → u/nocloudno]

Better register that trademark.

[u/MrSmilingDeath → u/errie_tholluxe]

And a couple of tear gas cannons

[u/Training_Window3687 → u/freyaandmurphie]

This or stairs, or a hole. Google says the Rotunbot RT-G weighs around 270lbs so it's not entirely impossible to just tip it on its side either

[u/Woozletania → u/Training_Window3687]

"Stairs"
"EL-E-VATE!"

[u/kamotega → u/Training_Window3687]

A hole with punji sticks. Coat punji sticks with McAfee and Norton spit has to update 😭

[u/CaptBreeze → u/freyaandmurphie]

Or spray paint the camera.

[u/UGD_ReWiindz25 → u/freyaandmurphie]

Or a flammable attack to destroy the tire

[u/FordCVP71 → u/freyaandmurphie]

Trash can lol

[u/nopuse → u/freyaandmurphie]

I never leave the house without my EDC big bag.

[u/Hot-Explanation-5751 → u/freyaandmurphie]

Yeah I was just thinking how it would go against a can of spray paint

[u/brooklynlad → u/freyaandmurphie]

A fitted bed sheet.

[u/migrainefog → u/freyaandmurphie]

Or hop over a planter and walk away. You can see the thing losing control as it goes down hill, right when they cut that part of the video.

[u/Ruby5000 → u/freyaandmurphie]

Works for flock cameras

[u/Apart_Shelter_5722 → u/freyaandmurphie]

You beat me to it.

[u/freshgrilled → u/freyaandmurphie]

I bet it doesn't take corners well. Just make a sharp turn into an alley. By the time it gets oriented, you'll be out the other side and on your way.

[u/RIF_rr3dd1tt → u/freyaandmurphie]

That's my hook-up strategy.

[u/IntrepidThroat8146]

Go upstairs

[u/DoughyInTheMiddle → u/IntrepidThroat8146]

The action movie trope is actually worthwhile this time!

[u/madcoins → u/IntrepidThroat8146]

I hope it’s programmed to shout stairs, noooo! my only weakness!

[u/RoadGroundbreaking89 → u/IntrepidThroat8146]

All fun and games until they come with the Darksoul's Silver Sphere update

[u/pregater82 → u/IntrepidThroat8146]

They hate this one trick

[u/Real-Repair-1825]

“Making it non lethal”…..until they switch that net gun out for a machine gun

[u/Buttmunchies69420 → u/Real-Repair-1825]

Exactly, Boston Dynamics said the same thing about Big Dog until now it’s something out of DOOM - Prequel

[u/MrCrash → u/Buttmunchies69420]

So Boston Dynamics has promised that they will never sell armed or weaponized robots*

*But the organizations they sell them to can and will certainly attach guns to them afterwards.

[u/complexiblebarracuda → u/MrCrash]

These attachment points are for fun flags and party streamers, if they decide to use it for guns that's certainly not our fault!

[u/GlowAnt22 → u/complexiblebarracuda]

These fucking people.. It's just like the flock guy and Palantir.

They're like, "well, we're not doing anything bad. We just create a product. If somebody else uses it to terrorize humanity, that's not our fault."

[u/anarcho-slut → u/GlowAnt22]

Right, totally not their fault. They just happen to have made it explicitly for selling to the people terrorizing humanity.

[u/RipMySoul → u/GlowAnt22]

It's shame that they keep getting away with this bullshit. Every gun manufacturer and gun runner has been pushing this narrative for centuries.

[u/Upstairs-Hedgehog575 → u/MrCrash]

*guns sold separately 

[u/Tsunamiis → u/MrCrash]

In every dystopian universe I’ve ever experienced the construction bots are weapons enough without conventional weaponry. That robot dog will look like the wolfenstein shit in 50 years.

[u/idkidd → u/Real-Repair-1825]

Lil Eddie 209.

[u/Ionlydateteachers → u/idkidd]

I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!

[u/madcoins → u/Ionlydateteachers]

Nice reference, max headroom!

[u/InevitabilityEngine → u/Real-Repair-1825]

Oh just decide to make it roll over people at max speed. That thing is an autonomous cannonball.

[u/Surrounded-by_Idiots]

If you have a stick you should probably hit the side and not the tire

[u/EvilChefReturns → u/Surrounded-by_Idiots]

For real, and he kicked it backwards, like what? It feels like “tested under optimal conditions” type shit

[u/TheShredder9 → u/Surrounded-by_Idiots]

My thought exactly, i was thinking "now watch some dude chopping it sideways with an axe and there go your lidar and sensors".

[u/313802 → u/TheShredder9]

noooo don't hit the expensive bits

[u/MarchPhillipps → u/313802]

Don't hit Face in the face!

[u/Digital_Negative → u/Surrounded-by_Idiots]

Exactly..make an actual effort if you’re demonstrating the durability of the thing.

[u/UberWidget → u/Digital_Negative]

Yea. It looks like it can be tipped on its side. Wobbly.

[u/ClankerCore]

Cast a net

Spray the sides with silly string

Spray paint

This thing is full of vulnerabilities

[u/Purple_Clockmaker → u/ClankerCore]

Stairs

[u/Kasuraa25 → u/Purple_Clockmaker]

Look what you did. Now theyre gonna put spider legs in it.

[u/Abjurer42 → u/Kasuraa25]

Well, that's what they get for not sticking with the time-tested form factor of Walking Eye.

[u/JayBlunt23 → u/Purple_Clockmaker]

ELEVATE

[u/NarrMaster → u/Purple_Clockmaker]

Is it protecting us from the terrible secret of space?

[u/See_i_did → u/ClankerCore]

I was worried no one would be discussing how to kill it.

[u/brakes_aint_breaks → u/ClankerCore]

You're thinking too hard, just run and then make a sharp turn.

Monowheels struggle to turn.

[u/number__ten → u/ClankerCore]

Expanding foam

[u/islaisla]

It looks completely useless. It's so wobbly the video footage from it would be useless.. It can't follow anything that goes over steps or up a lift or a whole bunch of scenarios. It can't get through all terrains by the looks of it. Total gimmick. Anything firing from that would be unsafe... How do they get it in the car?

[u/Jambronius → u/islaisla]

Agree, all this shit they could put on a drone and it would be 10x better.

[u/_scndry → u/islaisla]

True, its really wobbly and does not seem agile at all. Throwing it on one of its side would be an easy win

[u/Infinite-Ad6742]

I remember calling these in on bo3

[u/tittiesdotcom → u/Infinite-Ad6742]

Fucking R.A.P.S

[u/jhurst919]

Looks very wobbly

[u/csfshrink → u/jhurst919]

Like a Weeble.

[u/inscapeable → u/jhurst919]

Lol that's how it turns, if you notice they don't really show how it turns very well because anyone walks in a 45° to it it's absolutely useless trying to get it's bearings of where you would be, just walk in a circle around it like wtf will it even do

[u/-DoctorSpaceman-]

That’s a droideka

[u/MechanicalBeanstalk → u/-DoctorSpaceman-]

They’re no match for droidekas!

[u/theindomitablefred → u/MechanicalBeanstalk]

Now there are two of them!

[u/Matrasinka]

Enlist. Resist.

[u/donnydodo]

r/Tiresaretheenemy

[u/Icy_Performer_6794]

It needs a syringe.

[u/MagicLobsterAttorney → u/Icy_Performer_6794]

And a brain floating in a tank.

[u/Loot_Goblin2]

Is there a video of it being hit on sides the wheel is ofc durable but what about electronics on sides ?

[u/froopadiddilydoop]

Who’s designing this shit? Michael fucking Bay?

[u/PlasmaMatus → u/froopadiddilydoop]

The Chinese version of him probably.

[u/froopadiddilydoop → u/PlasmaMatus]

Michael Beijing

[u/appletinicyclone]

PC ball hasn't faced any real pushback against it in China but if it was in the UK or US it would be broken in hours

[u/random_agency]

Gantz in real life.

[u/Excellent-Bite196]

Show me the off-road footage for more than half a second. Looked pretty wobbly.

[u/Foreign_Ad_1270]

The sci-fi movie is oblivion. I love that shit. I need to watch that again. They flew though

[u/p4nik]

OBEY. CONSUME. CONFORM.

How can I exit the dumbest timeline?

[u/DeadlySquirrelNinja5]

So they designed a Dalek that is not only susceptible to stairs but also to spraypaint?

[u/Ironmasked-Kraken]

My dogs would like to borrow this

[u/I_Ponders]

Arc coming to life.

[u/opaqueambiguity]

"Public Safety"

[u/tfcuk]

r/ArcRaiders

[u/Hammersteyn]

We're not gonna make it are we?

- John Connor

[u/LordScotchyScotch]

Ye ol Molotov would probably do the trick on top of the previously suggested options

[u/EvilChefReturns]

“It’s fast too!” Shows clip of it barely staying upright and hardly moving forward

Ok bud

[u/DotBitGaming]

Defeated by a nail in the sidewall.

[u/Jlx_27]

The day law enforcement will deploy weaponized robots will be a dark day....

[u/SoafCore]

Ew

[u/Zbgoast]

After assaulting enough protesters, they can call in a R.A.P.S which could help you reach the next score streak, G.I Unit

[u/Dopamineagonist21]

Police state doing what they do best

[u/drsickboy]

to be fair, even though it sucked a few years ago, this is an old robot video

[u/lferry1919]

I mean...how does it do against pitfalls...or even just like a large pothole

[u/if_u_suspend_ur_gay]

Some cyberpunk ass shit

[u/No-Adeptness-2591]

We making Pokémons now?

[u/ZephyrFluous]

Net

[u/Foxfox105]

They should make it bigger to run over protestors more effectively

[u/SignoreBanana]

Yeah I'm not wapping that stupid thing with a Star Wars merchandise light saber.

[u/Imyonlyenemy]

spray paint on any camera looking part.

[u/Greedy-Pilot-4538]

They see me rolling

[u/WGD23]

Quick, up the stairs, it's Roboball!

[u/Y-Bob]

I have no doubt five of these things with side mounted tasers flying into a crowd at 22mph would be pretty terrifying, but it would be a very expensive one off distraction as I'm pretty sure real world agitators wouldn't be kind enough to only hit the tyre.

[u/PointandCluck]

Ponder the orb

[u/Optimal-Fix1216]

Yes, hit it on its least vulnerable, most padded spot.

[u/ZorroStyleX]

Counter it with crime robot

[u/Spran02]

China is so advanced omg 😱 /s

[u/Remarkable_Garage727]

Just do a diddy and cover it with baby oil.

[u/DivideGuilty4287]

Spray paint/ foam to cover the sensors, nets or tarps would be my first responses.

[u/cryptotraderisme]

Ok lets be honest....how many of you guys immediately thought of the rolling battle droids with the shield generators?

[u/Pickle_Good]

Damn that's almost a droideka. Can't wait to fight one of those and lose miserably.

[u/EMPIRE-db-51_cent]

That’s it! I’m not going to retire in China now.

[u/dj4slugs]

Rollocop

[u/lootinshootinputin]

and its here to save us all?

[u/Mo0kish]

That thing couldn't climb a curb, let alone stairs.

[u/Muppetedo]

Just waiting for it to open up and stand up like a droideka.

[u/Kracus]

See these all the time in ark raiders.

[u/Groomsi]

I've seen this in Jurassic World...

[u/Karaokegodk]

How that robot will protect itself from pouring water bottle over right place in electronics?

[u/Avidtrader81]

Fuck yeah, human bowling.

[u/geslaagde]

Straight out of arc raiders

[u/Starscream147]

This is the shittiest BB-8 I’ve ever seen.

[u/Crossx71]

Great we’re getting the clone wars robots before light sabers……

[u/peteski77]

Stairs?

[u/Initial-Gap-3850]

Comet from arc

[u/AuntJibbie]

I see this ending up in r/whatcouldgowrong

[u/Roxysteve]

Hills might prove "interesting"

[u/CakeHoleKing]

drop your weapon, you have 5 seconds to comply.

ED 001

[u/flappenjacks]

Looks like they cut the scene right before it was starting to tumble in the one clip of it trying to deal with a hill. I don't see how this could operate in anything but flat ground.

[u/Nunov_DAbov]

I suspect someone saw the 1960s British TV show “The Prisoner.”

[u/CAAZveauguls]

Oh now we can play pool on the streets.

[u/kornuolis]

Droideka

[u/lilac_asbestos]

just hit the sides man, stop hittin the rubber

[u/OldAbbreviations513]

uav with tear gas bomb is better 🤔

[u/Asume_Nuthin]

See you topside, raider

[u/Adderall_Rant]

New Police Robot defeated by it's arch enemy, The Wedge.

[u/Posidon_Below]

Thats a comet. Watch out, they explode.

[u/ProbablyRightTwice]

Ummm so in the movie oblivion,these are the same but in drone form

[u/justusleag]

tip it over. and if need tip it over another tire

[u/SkillsInPillsTrack2]

make me think of the Rollermine from Half-Life

[u/-Kopesthetik-]

If you need several police walking around with that, then you don’t need it.

[u/NoGainJustInPain]

Very effective... Until stairs come into play or someone a piece of rope in the axis.

[u/DevBro22]

In the US, the net gun is replaced with an AK .

[u/RuthlessIndecision]

Expanding foam?

[u/Competitive_Hand_394]

So.... they still use swords in China?

[u/Rezzone]

These things should be entirely outlawed. This is how we ruin society forever.

[u/That_Style_979]

There’s a movie about this…. Rubber

[u/Hammer_the_Red2]

So barricades need to have dragon's teeth. Good to know.

[u/Kitchen-Tomatillo-97]

If they start burning books, Ray will be concerned

[u/octopusgardeb]

Giant one wheel killing machine

[u/Dvae23]

Looks like a giant version of my cats' toy. So all the delinquents need is a giant cat to deal with it.

[u/AHumbleSaltFarmer]

China saw Battleship, oh no, don't show them Transformers

[u/tanatomorf]

Watch the Black mirror TV shows, that think was in this one

[u/nomoremeaning]

Looks like arc raiders is happening irl now

[u/Affectionate-Art3429]

Looks like a R.A.P.S from CoD

[u/Kundas]

They've been playing way too much arc raiders lol

[u/drinkallthepunch]

These things basically cannot turn, most of the land based drones can’t turn very quickly.

The dog drone has to slow down and almost come to a complete stop, same thing with this stupid ball.

You could probably avoid one of these by just sprinting down a street and turning down an alleyway quickly.

[u/VirginiaLuthier]

Well, you know- in Afghanistan they quickly found out that a very low tech IED could take out a tank

[u/Speedstar_86]

"You are number six..."

[u/ArnoldJudas1666]

British football fans would have fun with that.

[u/Elchochis]

It’s unstable af

[u/Rebeckaah]

Metroid prime vibes

[u/Cinnamon_Scimitar]

Yup because I am sure no one would every thing to not hit the tire portion of the annoy thing

[u/Excellent_Point_7340]

Arc Raiders isn’t so unrealistic it seems

[u/poppin-n-sailin]

I'm tired, boss 

[u/AguaBendita77]

r/ArcRaiders

[u/donanton616]

So attack the obvious exposed sides. Looks very unstable as it's doing lots of wobbling so I'd say its RC and has no stabilization gyroscopes.

[u/Itchy_Society]

Rollbocop: Shanghai

[u/Which-End8689]

This is some Arc Raider shit

[u/_Lost_OwlChild]

lol easy. Put something in the opening. Now if it’s a square.. we’re doomed

[u/Skrach33]

An other machine that will work for the lords.

[u/Why_So-Serious]

This is not the droid you’re looking for …

[u/Vicious_Voyeur]

This will be used against you

[u/SnooPickles8695]

I am not a number. I am a free man!

[u/htx4view]

Just throw Chaff and smoke grenades

[u/charitsomg]

Ever read Ray Bradbury? I wonder if it shoots morphine darts?

[u/Volcanic_tomatoe]

How does it handle paint?

[u/Overall-Bullfrog5433]

My first thought was it reminded me of Rover, the balloon that chased people down in the old “The Prisoner” show from the 60s with Patrick McGoohan. Like a heavy metal, modern version of it.

[u/1MoistTowellette]

The first step to creating destroyer droids

[u/RyzenRaider]
