Robocops to start patrolling NY

NYPD robocops: Hulking, 400-lb robots will start patrolling New York City

Place yer bets!

  1. pig costume dropped over it from a fire-escape*
  2. “unexpected” hole in sidewalk to parts salvage
  3. flash mob of ‘Daleks’ surround it chanting “ex-term-man-ate”

(*bonus if it’s also a functional Faraday cage)

As a wheeled robot, it can only access ADA-compliant areas via ramps.

This reminds me of a story I heard about the filming of the original Robocop; apparently the bit where Murphy is trying to escape the ED-209 by fleeing down the stairs was a hard shot to get because the Robocop suit made it so hard for Peter Weller to walk down the stairs himself. So they had to stop filming for a couple hours to hurriedly make him some new shoes.
