Put a jibbering cat in front of this, and see what happens

I can't say I'm really suprised. I'd expect them to be able to develop weapons like that now. I can't really see them being any more useful than human sentry's either.

It's not mobile. As some random guy on that site posted in a comment:

And you deal with the countermeasure of a kid with a paintgun how, exactly?

Also, this design does not move, which means that it has all of the problems that any fixed emplacement system has - including those of being blindsided using known terrain features and low tech approaches, such as paintball shots to its sensor ports or something as simple as a very large blanket thrown over it which would allow attackers to move into the blind areas (shown on your own video) and use other means such as shaped charges, to disable the system.

And I have not even begun to address other, more sophistacated methods of blinding television-based systems, which are numerous.

There is NO substitute for combined ground defense systems that do not include boots on the ground. There's always some wiseguy out there who will figure out a way to pull the plug.

Ask any Special Forces grunt. Or teenage prankster.[/b]

'Nuff said.

They keep and keep making war more and more lame

However, imagen one of those in a full market place... just place it in a box, set a time for it to go on-line, no casualties on your side, major death on the other...

Yeah, because that's the object of war, right? Huge death tolls, don't worry about actual strategic advances just as long as lots of people die.

Hope it's not operating on Windows -.-

But seriously, what happens if one of those things goes nuts and shoots everything it sees? It could happen..
