Well that's it, almost 30 miles per hour. Even Usain Bolt could not outrun this thing.

Hmmm... what do I need to load in my .45 to defeat one of these things should it go “I Robot” syndrome...

Frankly androids will be the least useful robots.

It is better to design robots to do a series of tasks (such as take down suspects) and their chassis accordingly.

Although the human body is an amazingly flexible design, it is probably the least useful for robotics, except maybe Japanese love toys.

We won’t see “Data” in our lifetimes and humans may not see his ilk ever.

I’ll just give it one of those unsolveable questions and walk away while it short circuits trying to find an answer.

Yeah....I know.....I’m gonna die.

Steve Austin could do 60 mph, and that was 43 years ago.

Anymore, I’m not sure I could outrun a toaster.

I only have to run faster than the person next to me.

First, you get the robot to chase you into a factory, then start the automatic sequence to provide cover with noise.

Next, stick some plastique into the robot’s pelvic area and finally, bring down the hydraulic press on it.

Easy-peasy.

Oh yeah, before all that, try to get the robot to drive a tractor trailer rig with tanker into a parked Gremlin.

Finding an old Gremlin will be the tough part.

Technology. It is always just a matter of time and money.

I could put a dozen fatass rounds into it.
That’s just right now, if I can knock it down for a few seconds I got even more fun stuff.

Let’s dance, robot.

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.

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!

Robots keep improving.

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

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.
