    Default Crap carved out from another thread

    Ed. by SWCAdmin -- carved out from another serious thread. Concur fine robot design, but this went downhill quickly and the OP (other thread) had a serious thought going on.

    After watching the series finale (spoiler) of Battlestar Galactica, I'm prepared for the robotic takeover.

    If we're going to build killer robots, I suggest they at least look like this:

    Can we modify the "Kill" bit into just talking dirty? Then I'm interested!

    Granted, those designs certainly have perks but I think that these designs might be more effective from a military aspect. I, for one, wouldn't mess with the nation that had an army of these.

    I was thinking something along these lines to pump out replacements faster than rabbits. Another thought we could grow our own indig force overnight. Think long term........and constantly upgradable! Option 2....picture is worth a 1000 words need I say more!!!

    Why did you not clear your corner?

    Because we are on a base and it is secure.

    Let me remind everyone that this isn't in the Kitakidogo Social Club. The op posed a serious question, and April Fool's stuff aside we should all keep that in mind. Thanks.
