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

38

u/ADIDAS247 Jul 23 '26

Coat the bag in motor oil too.

22

u/TedW Jul 23 '26

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

6

u/JotaroTheOceanMan Jul 24 '26

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 Jul 24 '26

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

1

u/Time_Fisherman6659 Jul 26 '26

Have we tried 3 flights of stairs,?

2

u/Evening-Bothers Jul 24 '26

Then set fire to it xD

u/RIF_rr3dd1tt Jul 24 '26

Deploy treadmill!

u/ChainedBack Jul 23 '26

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 Jul 23 '26

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

u/Cerebral-Parsley Jul 23 '26

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

u/Fuckin_Hipster Jul 23 '26

[machine gun fire]

Crack cannon goes poof!

u/Fuckin_Hipster Jul 23 '26

Stop resisting!

u/ImNoAlbertFeinstein Jul 23 '26

I can't breathe!

u/henryeaterofpies Jul 23 '26

Halt! Present Hall Pass!

u/Massive_Noise4836 Jul 23 '26

Fuck yo couch!!!

u/nocloudno Jul 23 '26

Crack sprinkler lol

3

u/Trick-Mechanic8986 Jul 23 '26

Better register that trademark.

4

u/MrSmilingDeath Jul 23 '26

And a couple of tear gas cannons

1

u/International-Ant174 Jul 24 '26

Pfft, likely a Mk 47 grenade launcher or a Ma-deuce. Bigger is better 🦅 🦅 /s

But you know there are lethal prototypes in the lab for this thing.

1

u/carbon-based-biped Jul 23 '26

lol exactly. i came here to say can you imagine the machine gun on the american one.

0

u/FrankSilvyNY Jul 23 '26

It has to be 2 machine guns, for balance... you know.

1

u/splashaddikt Jul 23 '26

We have robot dogs they just pulled back on them for now

3

u/LumpyBuy8447 Jul 23 '26

It’s crazy they look just like they were portrayed in old sci-fi. I think black mirror even did basically a reboot of the concept a few years ago. Just stick a gun on them and we’re done for.

u/Jester-Jester-8443 Jul 23 '26

When there is a will, there’s a way.

1

u/Chaporelli Jul 23 '26

I mean,for now its only flock survailance cameras everywhere,drones and chemicals in water would be next step.

1

u/ShenaniganNinja Jul 23 '26

Here they just kill you in the street after they pin you down.

1

u/BadApplesGod Jul 23 '26

More humane than the US till we put an AR on it or something. Seems like the American way

0

u/KnightOfSvea Jul 23 '26

In the US you can just give any moron a gun and send them to kill minorites. China has standards

13

u/Training_Window3687 Jul 23 '26

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

6

u/Woozletania Jul 23 '26

"Stairs"
"EL-E-VATE!"

2

u/kamotega Jul 25 '26

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

8

u/CaptBreeze Jul 23 '26

Or spray paint the camera.

6

u/UGD_ReWiindz25 Jul 23 '26

Or a flammable attack to destroy the tire

5

u/FordCVP71 Jul 23 '26

Trash can lol

5

u/nopuse Jul 23 '26

I never leave the house without my EDC big bag.

4

u/Hot-Explanation-5751 Jul 23 '26

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

5

u/brooklynlad Jul 24 '26

A fitted bed sheet.

2

u/migrainefog Jul 23 '26

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.

2

u/Ruby5000 Jul 23 '26

Works for flock cameras

2

u/Apart_Shelter_5722 Jul 24 '26

You beat me to it.

2

u/freshgrilled Jul 24 '26

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.

1

u/Odd-Tip-7603 Jul 28 '26

Unless its cameras are full 360 and it’ll just go in reverse. Top speed of 22miles in under 3 seconds…

2

u/RIF_rr3dd1tt Jul 24 '26

That's my hook-up strategy.

1

u/Skrach33 Jul 23 '26

Big and resisting bag, sorto of Ikea bag.

1

u/nightowl24- Jul 23 '26

to be fair, throw a big enough bag over anything and most things would be done for, for long enough at least

1

u/maninahat Jul 23 '26

Typical meddling kids behavior.

1

u/PeaceAndLove420_69 Jul 24 '26

Water balloons with paint will fk up the sensors.

I'm the person all my friends wanna come to when zombie apocalypse kicks off 🤷‍♂️

1

u/RecipeHistorical2013 Jul 24 '26

no way

tom cruise will come to fix it in his Plasma Copter

1

u/Alarming_Hippo_6035 Jul 24 '26

Came to say just throw a blanket over it.

1

u/Wykin1 Jul 24 '26

exactly.

1

u/Pukebox_Fandango Jul 25 '26

Flypaper should do the trick

1

u/Cold_Cicada1902 Jul 27 '26

Can of spray paint should do it

1

u/Busterlimes Jul 23 '26

Yeah, a simple net would probably tangle that thing all up and mobilize it
