    I don't know about these but for that police robot in the US at least there's already a guide.

    Mind you these delivery ones look like this, a good bonk on the top should do it.

    Can always grab one straight into a mobile Faraday cage and get disassembling at your leisure too I guess. They could even be repurposed.

      Remember back when you could just pop open the covers on e-scooters, flash the firmware, and have your very own e-scooter?

      True. Spot's going to get up-armored pretty quickly, even if it's just anti-tampering stuff instead of actually protecting against weapons.

      Also, the delivery robots should be required to be safety green or orange, and have hazard stripes, more reflectors, and probably some kind of readily acessible, labelled emergency kill button.
