Um... They took a NASA robot and slapped an M16 on it. It also requires an operator. Cool gadget though.

Yeah I agree. I could see the obvious benefits. But just the thought of these robots in the hands of an enemy. It has great benefits to us, but what if they were used against us?

Personally I'd prefer those robots getting blown up as opposed to human beings being killed.

[i_owe_u1galaxy]

I do too.. I would much rather have that, however what if the enemy had robots also, and they chose to invade or something? Robots that are programmed to hunt and kill people are scary.

We are not going to be the only ones with these, soon i guess we will have wars or robots fighting robots, it will be like those engineering battle bot competitions or something. But I can see problems if the robots has trouble distinguishing who is really an enemy and who is not.

Good point. Hehe.... sorry.. I just thought of how funny it would be if one of the battle bots from the competition attacked it's controller. LOL!!!

I'm picturing the guy with the controller running around and the robot chasing him... Haha!!... sorry.

Haha.. like the Jetsons, but twisted a little. Tehy have other movies about that I guess, Terminator, I robot, 2001 A Space Ody...

I would rather wars be between robots, but then I do not know what would happen if terrorists had an army of robots.
