Love that video, but too many people think it's real and not a parody.
Also, Boston Dynamics and iRobot hate these guys.

Have you seen their Reloading videos? The Mario ones?

Speed defeats armor, so 5.56 is probably preferable to 7.62x39 here. Green tip helps, too. Still, I'd break out the .308 for robot police dogs.

Maybe they should paint BLM on the side of it.

In February, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) denounced the use of the robot, saying it was being used to target low-income communities of color. The congresswoman also took issue with the funds being used to keep the machine, arguing it should instead go toward schools or other issues.
Mark my words, they'll be using them to patrol the perimeter of the Capitol,
and she'll be totally down with it.
Demand that they compute the value of pi down to the last digit.

You freakin vets are all alike.
I would be only a matter of time before LE strapped that thing with a weapon .
It's been done before.
They sent in a robot at Ruby Ridge with a phone on it and were calling for Weaver to pick up the phone to talk to them.
The only thing was , in order to pick up the phone you had to stand in front of the 12 gauge shotgun mounted on it.
Then they tried to claim he was refusing to communicate with them because he wasn't dumb enough to get blown in half.

Curious what effect you think the stun grenade would have? Do they emit emp? I’d bet that system has encoders or some form of closed loop control. Doubt you could just “nudge” it into an error state it couldn’t recover from. Built the the lipo would do it. Cattle prod MIGHT do it if you can prod something that’s galvanically connected to the smart bits, but I’d wager they have those devices hardened more than you’d think.

I promise you that dog is not meaningfully hardened electronically
I don’t think I’d take the other side of that bet. But I also don’t think a cattle prod would generate the desired result when applied to 60+% of the bodywork/panels.
EMP or strong directed EMF? I doubt it’s hardened against stuff like that. But I bet it’s not exactly chinesium either

Fast forward three years and the first "Spot" robot has been shot by a perp during a hostage situation, in the very state it was built in.

A robotic K9 named Spot, which was shot during a tense standoff in Hyannis earlier this month, are among a new breed of technological tools being used by law enforcement to assess dangerous situations.
