Subject: [alt-beam] Beam Warbotics??
Hello List,
I feel it's time for a meaningless robotics question
Does anyone feel that a beam robot can be heavily modified to become a
killer robot. You know, take a beam robot, strap a video camera to it,
make it able to be controlled by radio communications (make the robot
able to do what it normally does like a photovore seek light, but a
radio controller can override it), and attach some weapons to it(pipe
bombs, guns, heat sinking missles, thermonuclear balistic missles. (OK,
MAYBE NOT THE THERMONUCLEAR BALISTIC MISSLE PART).
Oh Well, if this is possible (FAT CHANCE), then BEAM might have a chance
at robot wars
