So a robot you can kick over is better than dogs with actual teeth? Its a good thing tech bros are dumb as fuck.
Well you can't attach a machine gun to a dog with teeth. I mean you can, but it won't hit anything.
I mean, it might. Fire enough bullets wherever the dog is looking and it’ll be bound to hit something.
On the bright side, robot dogs don’t die when the pig they’re assigned to leaves them in a hot car. Also, nobody cares if a robot dog gets shot/stabbed/kicked.
I understand the sentiment, although annoyingly enough Boston Dynamics kicks their "dogs" pretty often, and they're build to adjust their balance very quickly.
