It's ok to shake them a little, just to let them know you're seriousIt's ok to shake them a little, just to let them know you're seriousWell, it's been over a year since my last report of a robot attack, so I'd say we're long overdue.

Jessika pointed me at an article over at io9 detailing the latest skirmish in the robots' war for global domination.  It appears a technician went in to repair a malfunctioning rock-lifting robot, whereupon it grabbed him by the head and shook him viciously.  Before he managed to escape the steel deathgrip, he had suffered four broken limbs.  The local court found the company at fault, though I'm not convinced.

can take a 10-foot drop onto concrete, drive 20 miles an hour, drive up stairs without stopping at full speed, carry 200 pounds of payload and has, maybe, five motors," which means it can "go nearly everywhere a human can.

Believe it or not, they're proud of this.
