These are absolutely going to start showing up at protests.

The state has all these fancy gadgets but they can't stop one lone homie from climbing on a roof. Trump is only alive because of bad aim. The more they develop this and rely on high tech, the more blind spots there are for low/no tech forms of resistance. 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
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.
Just as His Holiness St. Bhagavan Shree Matt Christman (PBUH) has proposed in his infinite wisdom.
It wasn't even bad aim, if Trump had skipped his Adderall that day and wasn't so fidgety we'd be having a very different conversation
They can't stop one lone guy from going on a roof because they're pathetic. They left the roof because it was too hot and then when one went up to confront him they ran away and gave up when they saw he had a rifle
Shaping them like dogs and sending them out with cops is just asking for friendly fire
Welp, guess it's time to get some armor piercing incendiary ammo.
ngl a paintball gun might be cheaper, but we can all get some AP incendiaries, as a treat.
first contemplated after a child sexual abuse suspect used his doorbell camera to see FBI agents at his door serving a search warrant. The gunman opened fire on them from behind the closed door with an assault-style rifle, killing two veteran agents and injuring three more.
cops really are that stupid
The movies: cops sneak up and take positions, executing a flawless breach, sweeping every corner, arresting the perp
Real life: cops saunter up to the front door like a cowboy movie, maybe kick in the wrong door, wander around the premises looking for a dog to shoot, execute a non-threatening person
Asking out of pure scientific curiosity, is it possible to electrify a field of very fine metallic chaff?
Wait what am I thinking, water is the obvious low tech answer here
water loaded with dissolved ions for conductivity, I.E. saltwater
EDIT: in all likelihood these will be built to pretty good IP water resistance ratings so don't count on breaking them by simply splashing them. a pool of electrified conductive water might work though.
They literally have no idea what to do with these robodogs. Network jammers have existed for years and can fit in a backpack. They're just strapping it to the dog because its the only thing the dogs are good for. Solution looking for a problem.
The dog is clickbait. The network jammers aren't news.
We need to get an SDR in range of a demo of one of these lol
wonder if it's doing wifi deauth or actually broad spectrum jamming (at least all the common consumer frequencies, wifi, bt, 315/900MHz)
It's got an RF remote control of it's own so it can't jam everything lol
yeah, I do wonder. Spot runs over 2.4/5ghz/ or cell. I can't imagine this version using anything too far out there. I tried looking for their FCC ID number but didn't have much luck. Probably classified or something for DOD.
