Pentagon Wants Packs Of Robots To Detect “Non-cooperative Humans”
Experts warn technology could be used for domestic policing
Steve Watson

Thursday, Oct 23, 2008
The Pentagon has put out a request to contractors to develop teams of robots that can search for, detect and track “non-cooperative” humans in “pursuit/evasion scenarios”.
The request, which can be read on the Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program website here, calls for a “Multi-Robot Pursuit System” to be operated by one person.
The proposal describes the need to
“…develop a software/hardware suit that would enable a multi-robot team, together with a human operator, to search for and detect a non-cooperative human subject.
The main research task will involve determining the movements of the robot team through the environment to maximize the opportunity to find the subject, while minimizing the chances of missing the subject. If the operator is an active member of the search team, the software should minimize the chance that the operator may encounter the subject.”
It is seemingly important to the Pentagon that the operator should not have to come into contact with the person being chased down by the machines.
The description continues:
“The software should maintain awareness of line-of-sight, as well as communication and sensor limits. It will be necessary to determine an appropriate sensor suite that can reliably detect human presence and is suitable for implementation on small robotic platforms.”
(Article continues below)
Paul Marks at The New Scientist points out that given the propensity to adapt this kind of military style technology for domestic purposes such as crowd control, the proposal is somewhat concerning.
“…how long before we see packs of droids hunting down pesky demonstrators with paralysing weapons? Or could the packs even be lethally armed?” Marks asks.
Marks interviewed Steve Wright, an expert on police and military technologies, from Leeds Metropolitan University, who commented:
“The giveaway here is the phrase ‘a non-cooperative human subject’.
What we have here are the beginnings of something designed to enable robots to hunt down humans like a pack of dogs. Once the software is perfected we can reasonably anticipate that they will become autonomous and become armed.
We can also expect such systems to be equipped with human detection and tracking devices including sensors which detect human breath and the radio waves associated with a human heart beat. These are technologies already developed.”
Indeed, noted as PHASE III on the Pentagon proposal is the desire to have the robots developed to “intelligently and autonomously search”.
Earlier this year another top robotics expert, Noel Sharkey, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at the University of Sheffield, warned listeners to the Alex Jones show that the world may be sleepwalking into a potentially lethal technocracy and has called for safeguards on such technology to be put into place.
Professor Sharkey stated:
“If you have an autonomous robot then it’s going to make decisions who to kill, when to kill and where to kill them. The scary thing is that the reason this has to happen is because of mission complexity and also so that when there’s a problem with communications you can send a robot in with no communication and it will decide who to kill, and that is really worrying to me.”
The professor also warned that such autonomous weapons could easily be used in the future by law enforcement officials in cites, pointing out that South Korean authorities are already planning to have a fully armed autonomous robot police force in their cities.
Perhaps one candidate for the Pentagon’s “Multi-Robot Pursuit System” proposal is Boston Dynamics’ rather frightening BigDog (pictured above). The latest version of this hydraulic quadruped robot can carry up to 340lb load and recovers its balance even after sliding on ice and snow:

How many Sci Fi novels/movies do we have to experience before we wake the F up and say HELL NO!
Patriots must retake the Halls of Power before the singularity comes – or this video-game like nightmare of a tyrannical scientific distopia will absolutely be a reality.
Our next form of Government must abolish secrecy and fully and fundamentally embrace transparrency if we are to avoid the mistakes we made last time.
It’s up to us now – let’s pull it together before it’s too late!
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:02 am
I thought they already had “robots”…I wonder if any of the flesh and blood robots will be worried about job security.
Lo-Tech defense/disablement against these would be wire rope.
I wonder if We The People would be more inclined to fight back against something like this since it’s non-human.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:24 am
Forget RoboCop, as there is no real policing done here. This is RoboHunter, RoboStalker and RoboAssassin, all at the whim of a NWO person with a joystick.

Some of us Patriots have been keeping track of their MANY ‘kill-bots’ that they are developing in order to kill us better. This is the trend… ever seen Blade Runner? Terminator? This is the direction the DoD is going!!
They are developing as many kill-bots as possible to counter the growing number of US military and older police force members who will NOT fire on US citizens. That is a worrying development for the DoD (see the questionnaire they used to gauge the amount of US military who would willingly work with UN “peace-keepers” (what an oxymoron!) and who would willingly fire on US citizens) – they see that their programming must be stepped up a few levels in order to condition them to fire upon us…
THIS IS THE FUTURE, folks! We Patriots will most likely be fighting against kill-bots. Remember that even if you escape the initial and subsequent round-ups and sweeps to take you to the camps, and if you survive the biological weapons sprayed from above (and poisoning of all water supplies), they will be tracking random humans by satellite (heat signature, radio signals emitted from heartbeat, etc.) so they can deploy the kill-bots to hunt you down (like a dog!) TO KILL YOU.
It’s going to get very hairy… be prepared, keep track of the various kill-bots so you can identify them and find their weaknesses…
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:01 am
I think it is about time that some of the whore scientists start making robots that can detect lies from politicians….that will mean about all of them all of the time….and grabs them, gives them about 5 seconds of miranda crap, spreadeagles them on the ground and then gives them a quick rabbitchop to the back of the neck….end of problem….
also another robot that can smell a politician or even a future politician…even before they leave college…and hounds them down on the street…in their cars anywhere in fact….and then reads them their miranda crap etc etc etc…to the back of the neck etc etc….!

October 23rd, 2008 at 11:22 am
Those robots are awesome!
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:22 am
I have no heart for those who plan our destruction. the scary thing is that maybe that makes me as bad as them, i don’t know but what i do know is that when the time comes i will not flinch when i have them in my sights. I will not hesitate to put to death as many as i can before they get me and if we win we must cleans the earth of them and there kind or they will be back in a generation or two. Many will not have the stomach for what is to come. WE CAN WIN. We got the numbers and we know who they are. We should strike first.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:27 am
Cyberdyne Systems here we come… What we really need to know is how to “take them out.”

Damn this looks like something out of Metal Gear Solid 4! We gotta take our country back!

How do you go from a noisy, four-legged POS to terminator robots hunting us down? “Are we looking at the future of policing in America?” You must be joking. . .
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:45 am
all films and computer games are whats reffered to as predcitive programming… matrix, terminator 2, doomsday, day after tomorow, equilibrium.. all the young kids are gonna be ready to go to battle on eiother side.. citizen or law enforcement. just think about how many people play grand theft auto.. get ready for GTA, mad max , snake pliskinn style mayhem
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:46 am
Yeah these robots are pretty cool… but I definitely wouldn’t want to go against a pack of battle hardened robots. The scary thing about these robots is that they probably won’t miss easily.
I’m concerned that the software they’re trying to develop will be used to enhance the capabilities of already existing battle hardened robots. In any case, robots are just the natural enhancement to a technological military. I’m guessing that they will attempt to make these robots immune to EMPs. But until they develop powerful enough energy shields, bullets and explosives will still do damage to their fancy toys.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:54 am
This is no joke. Terminator 2 style themes are likely to occur in the future. Armed robots controlled by ‘authority’ figures gunning down defenders of liberty.
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:01 pm
I will be one Non-cooperative human also.
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Such satanic weapons to be turned loose onto US is treason to the max. Our tax money total-
ly misused, no wonder the Bail-out befallen us with crux running our country. What it actually
is, some machines to catch people for food for the alien reptilians, that’s what it’s all about,
but these idiots don’t seem to know in the Pentagon. They might be on the list next to be eaten. We all know by now that humanity is just a cattle feed for the reps. That is why the gov. can not expose the alien agenda. Now you know about animal mutilations, too, same thing. We are food for the aliens and the gov. knows it. Wake up! Unless: You can’t handle
the truth.!

SS109 METAL PIERCING ROUNDS OR 7.62MM BANG! BANG! No More BIG DOG
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Sounds like a 2 cycled air cooled engine. Blast rounds through it, knock the antennas off it. But then again, it could be armoured plated. Aim for the electronics. Full metal jackets better than hunting rounds in this case. Armour piercing, snipers in the trees. Learn how to make booby trap holes, then bury the bastard.
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:30 pm
something tells me this thing can do more than they let on i.e. speed, “brains” agility, weapons systems. Wow, what use for this other than the streets of USA?!
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Send a pack of these bastardised machines after Bush & Cheney. Now THAT would be a great movie!!!
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I’m sure one high powered rifle round through one of the knees of the mechanical legs will put them out of commission. I wonder how well it would go over a cattle guard? I wonder what would happen if you threw a heavy cargo net over it. Would it get tangled up? In the battle between David and Goliath, everyone thought that Goliath was invincible. David turned his lights out with a single rock. These high priced toys from the Feds are all easily defeated. Everything has an Achilles heel. They spend millions on something that can be taken out using low tech methods. Thank you Pentagon for wasting our hard earned dollars on a bunch of useless crap.
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Im glad Im getting old. I hope I’m dead before it gets to the point of total control. Now, they only have partial control. Public control is theirs, they own it….they’ve taken it. Private control in your homes & meeting places is still somewhat private…..but its crumbling by the minute. Suicide doesnt appeal to me. So come on Natural death, here I am baby, come & get me. I’d rather die than be enslaved.
Guess what? Thats fine with the elitists – population control is easier when losers like me just give up & die. They love it. I suppose I could get mad, spread the word & attempt a feeble defense against the mighty oppressors, but why? They have all the guns, technology, money, & power……..furthermore they have all the brainwashing tools in media control. Talking to people about whats happening in this country is like pulling teeth. Painful. Besides, the ones that fully understand whats happening, do nothing. Accept it, there is no rebellion except the Internet cowards who scream through their keyboard. Peaceful demonstrations are worthless & stifled. In short order the Internet will soon be controlled as your TV, Radio, Newspapers, & Movies. They have all the money & power. Humans are sellouts & cowards.
You could join them, but that becomes an integrity issue, I would rather die. I was praying to Zues….oh wait wrong century…..I was praying to Allah…….shit, wrong religion, I was praying to the Bible God about this, he doesnt answer. Actually he never has, so I guess we are on our own. I was a pretty healthy man, but today Im smoking & drinking & not exercising. Im doubling my caffiene intake & wiped all Dr. visits off my calender. Oh yeah, stopped the dental visits too. Hoping the plaque from my teeth gets into the blood stream & causes a heart attack. Come on sudden death…….Im waiting.
I urge all of you to join me.

Yo i’m an uncooprative human! send one of these things my way,I would love to destroy your Expensive ass robot with my 500 magnum.
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:28 pm
I wonder if a human shot one of these things just because they felt threatened by the animalistic tedency of something so obviously artificial. eg “it looked like a bear the way it moved I dont want no thing hurtin’ my family like some some kinda hollywood shit, sent by some wacko in a uniform”…………hmmmmn what then, after all it is’nt alive,……kill it before it kills you. I wonder what International Law the fuckers will try to enact to protect these T-1 cyberdyne style machines? I wonder how well they perform in 5 feet of snow…….you can stop trying to guess,………it all does not matter anyway, by the time this sort of thing might have a use, the mask will have come away already. People like Zadocthepriest: your fear is thick and heavy with words like “cleanse” and “I will not hesitate”. May I suggest that you channel all that agression into surviving longer than the time it takes to take a bullet and remove the possibility for any power to be able to have any control over you…….figure it out,…dont hesitate to move to someplace safer than where you are now.

October 23rd, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Ok, here we go. The Achillies heel of the New World Order (AKA Illuminati) is the truth and exposure of their deeds. They know it and that is why they have to use every means necessary to fool the public with their lies, spin and propaganda. This is why all of their actions are planned behind closed door private meetings (AKA, secret societies, round table groups, think tanks, CFR, Trilateral Commission, etc.). Their greatest control mechanism is the issuance and control of money. Alex Jones is right on target. Discredit them and their control mechanisms (Media, Banking System, Fake Left Right Paradigm, Order Out Of Chaos, Fake Terror Events). Once everyone knows how these bastards work, they will have no power. You see their power is dependent upon how well they can fool the public.

If I wanted something to cart my stuff around I would rather have a donkey. A donkey is far more intellegent than this thing would ever be in a million years. The donkey costs less and would be more reliable. Although this Big Dog thing is interesting, in reallity it comes no where close to God’s creations. Leave it to the DoD to come up with something as stupid as this thing is.
October 23rd, 2008 at 2:12 pm
The more crimes that our keepers commit, the more they become afraid of persecution. The more afraid they become, the more authoritarian they become. They feel the need to keep us under control so that we don’t gain the power to bring them to justice. These ‘bots are yet another indication of how terrified they are of being brought to justice.
Their fall is almost inevitable now. Our rulers and their minions have become too much of a leech on productive society. Either we will regain control of our societies or our nations will fail altogether and be reduced to almost Stone Age conditions again, at least for a time.
We can regain control. Here’s how: We simply stop using their filthy money. When we do, the Federal Reserve System will die and their politicians will go with them.
I have formulated an inflation-proof currency that is not subject to taxation. When we switch to an alternative currency the criminals that are enslaving you and your children will fall by the wayside.

No matter, they will never get the chance to use such a robot. I believe the final battle will take place before they can perfect such a machine. Either way, they lose in the end!

BTW, has anyone seen A Beautiful Mind? You guys want to talk about waking up? Well, turn off you Xboxes and DVD players, and wake up! Look at the world around you; take up a real hobby, such as gardening, landscaping, wood working, statesmanship! Get out from in front of the computer/TV screen every so often and do something outside in the real world. Perhaps making a difference in your own locality?
There are greater threats to our liberty than expensive killer-government-robots-that-don’t exist-as-of-yet-but-perhaps-will-exist-in-the-near-future, such as a legislature that is in session–to borrow a phrase from Mark Twain. Anyhow, what is to fear from a government robot, everbody knows anything that comes from the government is totally ineffective and doesn’t function properly!
Besides, real patriots like Ron Paul will more than likely let us know when we need to start worrying about killer-government-robots-that-don’t exist-as-of-yet-but-perhaps-will-exist-in-the-near-future.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I’m not that concerned about mechanical toys, as I am with the control freaks messing around with the DNA of living things. Or biological germ warfare. Or messing around with our atmosphere. Or a whole host of similar things such as GMO food, Water contamination, and Atomic Waste Contamination. Any one who has had just the basics of biology knows that the system we call life on earth is a well balanced cycle of living things that depend on each other. The control freaks running this planet are too arrogant to realize that they are only destroying themselves. They will fall but not after they have taken a lot of us with them. Just have comfort in knowing who you are and which side of the fence you are on. God created the earth and everything in it in six days. He rested on the seventh day. It has taken mankind (under the influence of sin), thousands of years to come to the verge of totally screwing it up. It has come around full circle that our jobs should be tending the garden and not destroying it. It’s totally obvious and simple to me, that Satan, the great deceiver and destroyer, is alive and well working through the souls of men to destroy God’s handy work. The Bible describes everything very clearly and cleverly.

I watched a recent episode of the podcast at antiwarradio.com – The guest made the point that hot wars CANNOT be won anymore after the invention of the hand grenade/shoulder missile. Why? Simple economics. I can take out a 10million dollar TANK, with a shoulder mounted missile that costs a hundred dollars (well, probably more, but you get the point). It is like the guns that let Americans beat back the Brits and gave them the edge. So, you can bust an expensive droid with inexpensive ammunition also. Their centralized control system of control is also a weak point of the enemy.

I am government man from government land, sent by the government. hahaahha thats not a secret government robot, its a ehh umm ok you got me, its a robot.
what are you all talking about emp weapons, dude a 7.62*39 bullet shot by a sks or ak will cut through 1/8 in steel at 100 yards.. 10,000$ robot to a 250$ gun plus 50$ in ammo and clips. who loses in the end? lol gik i guess we do if its tax dollars that paid for it… also if you all have internet i take it you have a car, just hit the damn thing, ive hit bigger 4 legged things in my 97 cutlass… also its not like the thing is gonna sneak up on you. your more likely to go to the robot just to figure out what the annoying noise is..
(hey boogado whats that thing?) hell i dont know! some sorta 4 legged rescue toaster. (why does it got that gun on it?) i dont care im hittin the damn thing, I WANT THAT GUN!
that thing has a better chance going to the moon or mars. not riot control
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:37 pm
anyone read about the “Powdered Calcium” sent to banks like Jp Morgan Chase?
Sounds like another self-inflicted wound to try and garner more money, or possibly spread the fear of terror before an election
or both.
Remember what Thomas Jefferson warned about Letting Central banks control the issuing of our currency.

This robot, while very impressive, should be easily defeated with a strong rope or chain with two weights tied at each end to entangle the legs. Heck, even a heavy chain would do the trick. I’d like to see Boston Dynamics engineer their way out of this one. Even if you put cutting blades on the legs, a strong chain could easily evade cutting.

Here’s an interesting AI robot that could be used against us in the future. I imagine the creator will be or has been approached by the government. Maybe we could get him on our side to stop the BigDog invasion.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Holy f****** sh**! Well, guys, are we going to wait for these things to be deployed against us, probably carrying assault arms, ray guns, or something unimaginable? Remember, we wouldn’t be seeing these pictures if they didn’t have much more advanced versions ready to roll out immediately. Virtually every day, the steel jaws are closing in on us a little more.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Man, technology is rapidly out advancing the human race. By the time we rise up, our puny little guns won’t even mean anything. We probably will be killed by beams from space, and worry at night about robotic intruders killing us in space. If you don’t want this to happen, we have to force congress now to stop the funding of weaponized robots.

Couple this with a harry potteresque cloaking device, and add nightvision to the sensing unit, we are done. Unless someone can hide our smell, breath, and heart beat, do we put lead suits on our “ribs, shield our odor, and use a air tank aqualung on land, to avoid these idiots???
Let’s hope the Nibiruan fly by every 3616 years comes and gives em all heart attacks and paroxysyms of fear…While we go and help others, to survive while they cover in their arks of doom; only to be set upon by these very dogs of war…when they are told it is all over, they can come out, we will greet them and they will be very afraid…..very afraid…..

“Top US Generals Flee To EU And Russia In Last Attempt To Stop World War
A most stunning report is circulating in the Kremlin today stating that some of the most Senior Generals in the United States Military are ‘pleading’ for ‘immediate’ help from both Russian and European Military to prevent their current President from starting World War III in the coming weeks.
Even more shocking, this plea for help by the America Military Establishment came from their most senior military officer Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, and who in an unprecedented secret meeting, held this past weekend in the neutral country of Finland, met with General Nikolai Makarov, the head of Russia’s General Staff.
This meeting between the United States and Russia’s top Military Officials followed an equally unprecedented meeting held also this past week in the Adirondack Mountain Region of New York State between these US Generals and all of the top Military Officers and Staff of Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Japan, Canada, Denmark, The Netherlands and South Korea.
According to these reports the American Generals have stated their ‘firm belief’ that the United States and Europe are under an ‘imminent threat’ for large scale attacks by nuclear weapons prior to the US elections, due to be held on November 4th, that will completely destroy both America and the European Union in a bid to establish upon both these Nations a new ‘Forth Reich’ modeled upon the former German Nazi Empire.”

Time to iron plate my D-6 dozer and build a mote around my trailer. I’ve seen to many episodes of the A-Team to let little robots get me down.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:47 am
just paint em black and they wont show up for work….sorry I couldn’t resist
October 24th, 2008 at 6:10 am
shut up ShenK.
“Mike Mullen, and who in an unprecedented secret meeting, held this past weekend in the neutral country of Finland, met with General Nikolai Makarov, the head of Russia’s General Staff”
Real big secret huh stupid. That’s why you know.
These robots are pretty amazing, but it would be a little troubling to see them uses for policing. They would be an amazing tool in rescue searches though, finding people lost in the mountains and such. The problem, like the article says, are the words “non-cooperative human.” They really must respecify what they intend to use this thing for.
October 24th, 2008 at 6:11 am
Hey maybe they can detect people lost in tragedies like earthquakes and avalanches
October 24th, 2008 at 6:12 am
Maybe they can my lawn, take out the garbage, shie put a saddle on it I’ll ride it to work
October 24th, 2008 at 6:18 am
I know everybodies afraid of this but I think it’s awesome, better than some redneck cop with an agenda of his own
October 24th, 2008 at 6:22 am
I want one
October 24th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Yeah, but will that be considered killing a police officer? At the point where you would want to shoot one though I guess who cares right?
October 24th, 2008 at 10:22 am

Did anyone see the Terminator movies or the Matrix? These things always turn against mankind. (Although with this story it sounds like that’s the plan. They want to turn these things against a certain portion of the polulation from their very conception. Scary shit.)
Hey robot makers! It’ll come back to bite you in the ass, mark my words. Once we’re all gone, you’ll be the only one’s left for the robots to hunt, and by then they’ll have a taste for blood. Idiots.
October 24th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
maybe you didn’t notice something in the story?
if the machine detects an individual by heart rate and breath then your best defence is not to fear no?
they are trying to scare the shit out of you now so you will be defenseless later…

Watch the futuristic Tom Cruise film Minority Report. In it there are mini-versions of the same thing called “spiders” that run around scanning people’s eyeballs for an iris ID check.
October 25th, 2008 at 11:54 am
I’m surprised the military hasn’t taken over this and classified it. Look for future news about it’s development to disappear.
Imagine an Orwellian hell that made “1984″ look tame by comparison. Imagine the State reading our minds 24/7 with MRI technology, and other technology that Orwell could never imagine. Then, imagine living in that time, say 2100 A.D. Now, imagine going back in a time machine and emerging in the year 2008. What would you be willing to do to stop it from happening?

HEY OUT THERE…. I live next to the windsor detroit tunnel….i go thru the almost everyday and have noticed something that is very disturbing…. Im an vision system engineer for the big three installing vision systems that inspect parts being made…. In the last week i’ve notice that they where installing a new vision license plate recognition system …. but the other thing i noticed yesterday was they had faced to camera’s towards the driver side window and front windshield…. they have completed two lanes so far….. as i was waiting my turn to get to the booth, the lane next to me was working and i noticed the red flash of red led’s against the paint of the car…. it was taking a picture of the driver as he passed a sensor on the ground….i thought it was illegal to take pictures of someone with out there consent on private property…..this really is bullshit….when i got to the booth i asked the border guard what they where taking pictures of peoples faces for… he then looked at me very funny and said how did i know that…. so i told him that i was a vision engineer… he then started to ask me a whole bunch of questions like i was some crimal….. i know now that they are making a database of peoples faces with there respected vehicle plate and make of car….. the system is diffenately a facial recognition system…… the marshall law scenario is getting closer and closer….. and the other thing is that these guys where really kicking ass to get it done….. usually for goverment jobs they take there time…. but its only been a week…. and there almost done…… its coming…. i feel it….using my knowledge and logic……. buy food….and arm your self quickly before its too late……peace to all is what it should be……

do not waste the money we get for such things.
October 26th, 2008 at 9:14 am
I just realized that they will make robo-police to bypass the civil rights law..
A robot is not a person so it could intimidate people for example you mr Jones, and you will not be able to do anything about it, there is no law and i doubt they will make one for you to defend against such thing.
Of course there is a man behind the joystick, but if something happens, they will say that automated system failed, after all its a machine..

anyone can help me?

The “advance” that these machines represent is in Heartless Force. The Epsilon Minus Semi-Moron Security Forces of the world still have to have their humanity drilled out of them.
These things will be heartless before they’re brought online.

October 26th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
i am seeing the future now.
the world bankers succeed in passing world law that all humans be chipped.
time passes.
now the robots are more advanced. there are flying robots, swimming robots and all kinds of robots on the ground. all shapes and sizes.
the robots communicate with eachother.
the world’s elite decide to decrease the worlds population.
order is given to robot militias to erradicate certain humans.
the humans are able to be tracked by their rfid chip.
the rfid chip comunicates through a large network to a mainsystem which controls communication to robot militias and armies.
the robots now can find the humans with the embeded chips.
the robots are armed with lethal weapons.
the hunter now becomes the hunted.
global population control.
this is the plan.
all who do not conform will be erradicated.
all hail the supreme ruler.

October 26th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
RE st0n3
Take it out with a baseball bat – I wouldn’t count on it unfortunately. These things are gonna be armed with rapid fire machine guns and I suspect have a better power supply system. Your looking at nets or pit traps for these buggers. You can always be sure that if this is what we’re seeing on you tube, the reality of the situation is that the robots are far more advanced. The top brass will love these things as they will be able to take out the human element from the decision to kill. One psycho issuing commands to herds of the damn things.
October 26th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
I figure that they’ll wrap it in the same stuff that they wrap tanks in, sooner or later. Then gtfo for me.

How ’bout if someone invents an electrical fire hydrant. That way when it goes to pee it gets zapped and can’t reproduce!!!
October 27th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
It’s kind of like these university robots you see in their survival contests although these are far more advanced.
You know they have bombs that burn out all of the electronics so cars don’t run. I wonder if these bombs will work on these robots? Also you could also just dig a hole for them to fall in (old style tank traps).
October 27th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
how much is it costing the tax payer and for what cant even provide proper medical or houseing for all they dont protect women and children from assult but can spent money on this and other nonesense ,didnt spend much on the people in new orlands , it dont matter world has its priorities back to front

Obtaining the Aluminum
1) Go to a machine shop. They will usually give you aluminum powder for sweeping the floor or something.
2) Break open an Etch-A-Sketch, the stuff inside is pure aluminum powder.
3) Go to a paint store, they usually have powdered aluminum that people use to mix into paints to give it pigment.
4) Get a grinder, and something made of aluminum. Good ideas are soda cans, bike frames, and lacrosse sticks. Start grinding the aluminum and collect the sparks in a container.
5) Search eBay, they sell it for pretty cheap.
Obtaining the Iron Oxide (Rust)
1) Take some steel wool then put it in a jar and then cover it wool with water. Use a magnet to make sure the steel wool doesnt float during the reaction process. Next, put in 5 tablespoons of regular bleach into the water and 5 tablespoons of regular vinager. Wait a day or so and then filter the brown paste with a coffee filter. Leave it out to dry overnight.
2) Go to a paint store, they usually have powdered iron oxide that people use to mix into paints to give it pigment.
3) Connect wires to a direct current (9-volt battery), strip both ends and put them into a saltwater solution. Let them sit for five minutes. One of them will start bubbling more than the other. This is the POSITIVE(+) wire. Put a nail tied to the positive wire into the jar. Now put the negative wire in the other end. Now let it sit overnight and in the morning scrape the rust off of the nail & repeat until you have a bunch of rust on the bottom of the glass. Let it dry out, and crush it into a powder.
4) Search eBay, they sell it for pretty cheap.
Mixing the Stuff
Thermite is 8 grams of iron oxide to 3 grams of aluminum. The formula is by weight but because aluminum is very light, it will appear to be approximately a 50-50 mix. Put them together in a container and mix them until it is an even mixture. If you want, mix four parts thermite with one part clay or Play-Doh and knead thoroughly for moldable thermite.
To increase it’s punch make military grade:
Its composition by weight is generally 68.7% thermite, 29.0% barium nitrate, 2.0% sulfur and 0.3% binder (such as PBAN). The addition of barium nitrate to thermite increases its thermal effect, creates flame in burning and significantly reduces the ignition temperature.
Igniting
Thermite needs a lot of heat to light, that means magnesium. Find some magnesium ribbon, or a sparkler that contains magnesium and put it into a pile of thermite.
Thermite can be packed into a small container about the size of a hand grenade. When ignited it will melt down and out of your container. The burning mass will go through a car engine block and come out the bottom still burning.
Thermite bombs can be made for under $5. Big dog is likely to cost upwards of a $ million each. Doubt it? Look at standard military procurement procedures.
Let them spend their money on these things, well burn ‘em to the ground faster than they can make them
October 28th, 2008 at 7:48 am
I agree with Sullivan. Call congress now and demand creap like” big dog ‘ research be stoped. The money for this immoral crap should be spent improving peoples lives. And no I do not want to hear how this thing could be used in search and rescue,or how it could save the lives of cops and military personel.There are some things that by there very nature are human endevors. If you do not have the courage to chase bad guys,or fight the enemy man to man with conventional weopons then dont !Fear is not nessecarly a bad thing,besides most wars are preventable,most bad guys are considered so because of nothing more than drugs,and there is already wonderfull people and real animals involved in search and rescue operations.
There is something supernaturaly evil about this thing,it should be killed now.

You know what is really funny, each decade they are trying to prepare us for what is coming, and Hollywood always packaged it so nicel, so people laughed at it – they did Terminator in the ’80s, then the next one in the ’90s, then the next one in the 2000s.
Call me crazy, but after all this I see nothing else coming but fight for survival – humans vs. robots (paid by some crazy fucked up humans who want to rule the world).

this is crazy its just another way for these fucking morons to control us im telling you people lets fight back
October 29th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I must say I’d never seen anything so frightening in my life, I’d seen quite a bit but the potential for these things…How do you fight something like this, let alone a “pack” of them, with human “law-enforcement” as their back-up? All that has to be done now is for them to close and guard the borders and work their way inward. The end of the free planet seems inevitable to me.

Chicken shits? You’re a fool if you don’t think this thing will come after you one day, criminal or not, it’s a CONTROL mechanism, world domination is well on its way and I’d like to fear its potential because that may help me one day, while you’re out there fishing and ignoring the reality of what is coming I will be more ready for this in my home than you will be carrying fish to your truck where one may be waiting, loaded with weapons and takes you and your fish out, just for practice.

An escape plan might well be the best defense.
I have had a plan put together for a very long time.
I cannot feed everyone who didn’t make a plan,
or those who thought I might be a nut.
Them robots run on gas, and sooner or later
someone will come around to fill them up.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang, ahhhh.
March 13th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
‘Non-cooperative humans’ doesn’t refer to your political bent. It just serves to differentiate between searching for humans who want to be found (accident victims, quake survivors) and those who are actively trying to avoid being found (criminals, enemy troops).
D’j understand now billy bob?
