Found this in the cyberpunk subreddit in a post from 2 years ago with people complaining that people were over-reacting and it's 'just a camera on legs that will never be weaponized'. Cue San Francisco want to weaponize one a year later, also apparently Dallas used their bomb disabling robot to kill a sniper in 2016.

Here's some totally random paperwork on Spot's network setup! https://support.bostondynamics.com/s/article/Spot-network-setup

It should be noted that some versions of spot have both 5ghz and 2.4ghz wifi but should still be vulnerable to deauth attacks. Upon losing network connection for more than a few seconds the robot should sit down and turn off the motors. However, they do make an LTE capable version. :this-is-fine:

Any amount of netting will fuck these up.

    That's not something I carry around. If I knew they'd be part of a crackdown, maybe. How would a fire extinguisher fare against these? Any camera-blurring substance ought to be a good first line of defense.

    I don't think you need to worry about these in the street, there's very little use-case. The main job I see this doing is being able to walk into places that they don't want a cop to walk into because of traps or someone hiding. So like, breaching a house/building in a holdout.

    Unless they stick guns on them but that's a whole different problem.
