And a new sport is born. Bot shoots .

No center fire cartridges, except shot guns, or wire cutters allowed.

A family sport since the bots are slow and numerous.

[VOA]

No center fire cartridges, except shot guns, or wire cutters allowed.

Jethro: "Uncle Jed, I don't know how you always get 'em by shootin' that tiny little wire!"

We are going to need more than tin foil beenies to escape these guys. (humour)

[mrsmith]

"Tiny robots...
in the trees!"

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

Will nightstalking with streetlights be allowed?

Bot Limits?

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

Urban street hunting ping.

[RS]

Can't wait to see the first picture of a spotted owl caught up in the wires...

[Cagey]

Hahahaha! That's exactly the tune I heard as I read the headlilne to this story.

"The societal, technological and economic impact is that in this ever-complex, rapidly changing, environmentally degrading world we're in, we need every trick in the book to keep tabs on how things are transforming," James Reserve director Michael Hamilton told UPI. "NIMS is a robotic sentry that can augment what a human expert will be able to do."

How does one know we live in a environmentally DEGRADING world ?

Every TRICK in the book indeed!

Tiny robots in the trees,
Robots catch my twinkling spy
Twinkling robots, if you please,
Singing songs of plastic pie:

"Plastic pie, plastic pie,
Shot a spastic in the eye.
Jesus heal'd that spastic's eye!
Pretty, pretty plastic pie."

Do the robots sing, we cry?
Sing unbounded in the trees?
Robots sing, and robots fly,
Flying, singing in the breeze:

"Pretty, pretty plastic pie,
Much more fun than just plain pie.
Me, oh my, oh why can't I
Have a pretty piece of pie?"

[farmfriend]

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Great! I'm preparing to be assimilated.

Bot Milk?

[Ed Condon]

Let's do the math, seven and a half million, 5 years, 100 bots, comes out to 75k each. Hope we get a decent return on investment.

[tillacum]

Yep, and an endangered lime-green and purple stiped zizi fly might get run over by one of those tiny roaming robots, then what will happen? An environmentalis will go nuts!

We've tried robot watching by satellite over the Mid East and look where it got us. There is nothing like human on- the-ground evluation to determin a situation.

[blackie]

Yep, there's nothing like a moving target ~ Lock 'n Load!

[Paul C. Jesup]

I have one question, in the book "1984" did they 'wire' the forests also?

[Lazamataz]

These things are huge. We are safe for a few more years.
