    Alternatively if these bots become prevalent can we learn to hack them or commandeer them?

    At the very least disabling them shouldn't be too hard, doubt they're milkshake proof milkshake

        Bottle of glue mixed with sand would fuck any robot right up.

        Especially if you get that plastic glue stuff used for warhammer, the kind of glue that isn't actually glue but works by melting the plastic so it fuses with other stuff. Melt the wires, plastics and other elements.

        A bit of acid would have the same effect too.
