Title: Robot Wars
Post by: Diesel on March 04, 2013, 13:27:46 PM
I was reading today about Robots Warriors being used to fight wars as opposed to Regular Soldiers etc. I just hope they find a way of programming these thing to reconize the difference between civilians, forced to carry weapons and unarmed adversaries hiding behind them.

At least you wont get blood thirsty, combat hardened soldiers making atrocities.

The robot call kill everyone with impunity and not feel a thing.

Are they made by SkyNet?

And for extra credit, name the company that Quaid worked for (no other hints given, beyond a vague reference to a political figure).
