That’s what the other fun stuff is for.
Replicant spiders or Zombies.. we’re all good.

Might not win but will surely make a showing.

I’m not worried. I have my own invincible robot army to protect me: a homicidal lawnmower, a trash compactor that likes to squeeze the CPU’s out of ‘em, and if you make it past the defensive perimeter, a toe-gobbling Roomba and a really badass can opener. Make my millisecond!

.45 is a manstopper, you will need something else to stop the robot tide.

Yep. There isn’t a robot around that won’t see that thing blinking 12:00 and stop to try to set it. Muhahahahaha!

Seriously though, I am imagining 10 of those things working together like little RAPTORS.

It’s terrifying.

Especially if they are programmed to go for the vulnerable/tender spots.

I am thinking Achilles tendon, toes, knee caps, groin, hands, throat, eyes ...

It really is stuff of nightmares. They are just to fast.

Robots keep improving.

Humans improve at .0001% of the rate of robots.

Don’t worry about robots, worry about drones. The new racing ones can go anywhere and can chase you right down a hall. Then the operator just presses the “explode” button.

You have the right of it. Cheap and massively deployed, they will sweep any battlefield of mere humans.

Here is an image of Intel controlling 500 independent drones to put on a light show.

There’ll be plenty of work for me.

I’m a Blade Runner.

I won’t shoot the beautiful girl robots, though.

Nope.

It’s not technically polygamy if they’re robots.

Now, the guy robots are fair game.

That made me lol for awhile. Glad I'm working from home today!

Twice I hit 25mph when I was 19. Back then I could run a 4.5 minute mile. 1979 was a good year.

Well, sure, you could, but you got a Black Belt in Toaster Fu.

The rest of us would get beat up.
