1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I just hope these don't suddenly malfunction and turn against us. Or a mad scientist mass produces evil versions of them and takes over the world with a robot army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Evil robo army gooooo! I read all the stuff about that, thanks for the link. Sounds hella cool. Love anything that blows up our enemies without risking our guys. Looks neat too. The Metal Storm tech is acutally quite impressive and intersting...their site is neat.

Needs to be in a pink colored camo and a pair of chibi neko ears. -or- Forgoe the Pink, use a light blue camo color, keep the ears, and give it the personality of a tachikoma/fuchikoma.

Ya know that's exactly what I thought when I first saw it. It is "cute" like a 'baby monster" and I can easily picture it with the personality of a tachikoma.

Yohsho Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I just saw the pic of the scale of the little thing and I just have a feeling of it shinbashing the person in front of it, then shooting them in the groin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchVile Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I don't like it, that's just me though. I feel that war is grusome and bloody for a reason, to keep us from wanting to go to it unless it is necissary. I feel that if we put robots in too many fields of the military we will be much more likely to go to war for less important reasons than in the past.

zeo-mare Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 very cool, in the next 10 years we will probably see much more stuff like this. i can only imagine how much the technoligical face of war will change in the mext 20 to 30 years. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Very impressive. I've been expecting to see something like this for quite sometime. The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and satellites are one thing, but to see something like this make it into the combined arms of the ground based military is something else. I'd be curious to learn more about the capabilities and especially the limitations of this new piece of hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I wonder if they'll allow that thing in Robot Wars? (is that show even still on??) Anyways that was a cool little robot all guns, and treads. Looks like a prototype for Bonaparte. AND I'm going to merge this with the the "Most plausible mecha thread" in a few days since I beat you to this info in there by a good 4 hrs.

Final Vegeta Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I don't like it, that's just me though. I feel that war is grusome and bloody for a reason, to keep us from wanting to go to it unless it is necissary. I feel that if we put robots in too many fields of the military we will be much more likely to go to war for less important reasons than in the past. That's naive. The real reasons for war are usually something obscene. In Middle East for istance the goal is to dismember Iraq and Syria into smaller states by fomenting internal ethnical and religious conflicts, while Lebanon is supposed to be turned into a Christian state. All this because Israel doesn't like strong neighbours. The US accepted also for other trivial reasons. The only thing to say it is that Iraq quagmire was expected, as it was expected in Vietnam and before that in Japan; it never was a surprise, rather it was an intentional goal. Another important fact is that no weapons are required to kill lot of people. Look at Switzerland. It is neutral, but with Nestlè, Novartis and its banks it has killed thousands around the world. There are books that describe how economic strangling is done. "We Americans claim to be a peace-loving people. We hate bloodshed; we are opposed to violence. Yet we go into spasms of joy over the possibility of projecting dynamite bombs from flying machines upon helpless citizens."

Guest Bromgrev Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Heh. That looks like a step up fom the old Northern Ireland bomb squad robot with the 12-gauge ... You've got to wonder how fast it is, though. Surely not as fast as A1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
