Know your enemy #2- Robots

Looking at our poll we find that our apocalyptic commandos are least prepaired to fight robots.

So here we go. There are three main kinds of robot threats-

1) Robots programmed to attack by our enemies
2) Robots Malfuntioning
3) Robots with Artificial Intelligence that have decided to eliminate us

Let's look at these individually, from least to most dangerous robot

1) Probably the least dangerous robot is the "sock puppet" robot. These robots will be as fast and intelligent as the people that design and control them. The strenght of these robots is that by being controlled by a human, thay will know how to act and respond to your typical human behavior. The weakness of these robots in that they need to transmit and recieve data. So to exploit this weakness you will need to damage or negate the way they recieve this information. Typical egoism will cause us to put all of the sensory equipment in the head like area. (Probably aliens will as well, as a central area such as a head for recieving information is an evolutionary adantage). Aim at this area to break this communication. Even something as simple as thrown mud could change the playing feild. This would render these robot useless, unless thay had other ways to retrieve data. (such as heat sensing). If you can find the controller "cut off the head and the body will fall"
Now what if the robot is programmed to kill? This is slightly harder but the same rules apply to "Killbots". You cannot fight a war of attrition as robots do not tire as readily. One advantage you have over a prgram is to change to an element the programmer did not forsee. Even a damaged leg will render a killbot useless because it has no A.I to compensate.

2) Malfunctioning robots- I put this on here as it is a sci-fi staple. But this is as unlikely as your computer becoming a washer and dryer. Such a thing cannot exist. Either someone needs to put it there (#1) or it needs A.I. (#3)

3) Artificial intelligence is viewed by many theoretical physicists as a great threat to humanity. As soon as computers can learnthey will pass us up in a matter of hours (computers all ready can process more information than us). If this happens and they decide to eliminate us, probably because we are innefficient and use more power then they will, we are petty screwed. People think that we could instal a "kill switch" that wouls shut them all down. But such intelligent robots could easily disable. Thier plan would be very calculated and probably unnoticeable They could monitor everything we do and control our media. We would probably never notice. But if they slipped up there is only one wat to fight back EMPs! Electro magnetic pulses, thay are the silver bullet here. A large one could shut down every single robot on the earth. True, it would set us back to the stone age but it would be worth it. They are also quite easy to make. They work very complicated so if interested go look it up on wikipedia. Basically it will go through the robot defense untill they are all hunks of metal.

Fight on!
