There are some cool things mechanically that you can make happen, if you are trying to, you know, morphing arrangements as far as robots go. The idea that they're driving around on by streets, i think is probably unrealistic. Others, no, tits out thers is certainly probably more. Society at large is another question, and absolutely, their drone tech is going to continue to just get more and more ivasive every sixmonths.
Programmed…to kill! On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly sit down with BattleBots’ Ray Billings to discuss combat robots, his killer robot Tombstone, and how to create robotics for competition.
