Insurance:

Robotics is only becoming more and more advanced, and more and more cost effective. They are certain to be weaponized.
The same advancements that would make a great domestic robot (such as accurate object recognition and tool manipulation), would make a great robotic soldier as well.
Danger is the price of progress.

That said, now may be a good time to lock in a low rate on life insurance with a robot plan.

We have about 150 years of direct evidence that this happens, but some people are still sure that robots will take everyone's jobs, and must be stopped.
It's ok I've got insurance for that.

An insurance plan with a robot clause.
 
You never know when the metal ones will come for you.

You need to feel safe, because robots are made of metal, and robots are strong.

Looks like we'd better start preparing for the inevitable. and get some robot insurance.

what happens when a disgruntled employee has access to control mechanisms? what happens when military robots, funded by enormous global megacorporations, fall into the wrong hands? how will we human sdefend ourselves?

May I suggest Old Glory when the time is right?

Never mind car insurance, what about robot insurance? (Oh! They're everywhere!)

It overwrote my MBR. It was a really good MBR.

Switch.

I'd really worry about a fleet of 'entertainment' robots looking after our sick and aged. Seems like a classic setting for a robot uprising story.

Not if Grandma buys Old Glory Robot Insurance!

It's OK. It will just announce the time for Sam Waterston to jump into action.

Why are we so afraid of robots when we have perfectly good safeguards against the possible setbacks?

lol, I thought that said "We need robot insurance". I think we're both right.

Lucky for us, there's insurance for things like this. Old Glory

I laughed at the parent, I must admit.

But remember, robots are everywhere, and they eat old peoples' medicine for fuel..

I actually did RTFA and II saw no mention what so ever about Chainsaw Hands.

While I may expect this to save me tons on Old Glory Robot Insurance premiums, I would still not have the ability to rip through their nanocarbon exoskeleton, tear out their still beating fusion generator and smash it to pieces.

Is it really so much to ask for???
Gimme Chainsaw Hands DAGNABBIT!!

The point of making robotic vehicles was to run over senior citizens, not pay for their doctor visits! Geez! How else do you think we are going to have social security in 40 years!

That and encourage them to buy Old Glory insurance.

Better get some robot insurance fast!

Dont they know that robots eat old peoples medicine for food?

http://www.robotcombat.com/video_oldglory_hi.html

http://www.robotcombat.com/video_oldglory_hi.html Looks like it's finally going to happen...

Good thing Old Glory national insurance offers Robot Insurance, which covers the elderly against just such a thing; you know robots run on perscription medication, they were just asking for trouble if you ask me!

...Do you have Robot Insurance?
Because robots eat old people's medicine for food. And robots are strong.

SNL Skit, funny as shit!

If I lived in the United Arab Emirates and I was old, I would invest in a robot insurance policy! They first advertised on SNL about 10 years ago...

Robot Insurance

It sounds like North Korea needs to purchase Old Glory Robot Insurance before the metal ones decide to come for them.

http://www.robotcombat.com/video_oldglory_hi.html

Just be sure to be covered with Old Glory Robot Insurance.

Nah, only Old Glory Insurance can protect you from killer robots. http://www.robotcombat.com/video_oldglory_hi.html/

The radio control crowd is eating these up, as the weight to capacity ratio is great, and the discharge rates are reaching NiCad and NiMh levels.

Some of the newer Kokam cells are capable of discharging at 20C, giving some of the larger packs a 50+ amp continuous discharge rate. These come at a price, about $145 for an 11.1V 3200 mAh pack.

I think Arthur said it best when he said "Not in the face!"

Now I'm off to Old Glory to check on my robot insurance policy.

And remember, persons denying the existance of Robots may be Robots themselves.
