Robot destroyed by Denver Police Bomb Squad

[casebro]

First they vame for robots, and I didn't complain...

The robot was obviously entrapped.

Good thing they got him before he spread the warning to the rest of his cell-

"Danger! Danger Will Robinson"...

 

[casebro]

I wonder, did they backscatter him before the detonation, or only after? and his front, and both sides...

What I'm wondering is why was the robot "cemented in"? I know it all seems a bit ridiculous but that part is a bit odd and warranted some level of caution.

See post #22.

The article doesn't say, but it could very well be that they blew up a Model XQJ-37 Nuclear-Powered Pansexual Roto-Plooker. This could be why some frustrated appliance fetishist eventually goes off and invents Skynet.

Nukular Nookie!

Cemented as in "glued" no doubt.

Level of caution needed: about the same as when you eat a cupcake.

There isn't a security threat or toy that can't be fixed with a good detonation by a bored bomb squad!

Whoever glued it on there was probably curious to see how long it would stay until it was removed.

Next week, watch for hundreds of toy robots to be plastered all over Denver.

Do Denver's bar's and taverns need to do a better job of deciding when to cut toy robots off?

Haha. That was pretty hilarious. See here in Iraq, there is actually a chance that robot could have been an IED, and our EOD team sends their little robot (We call it the Johnny 5) all the time to investigate suspicious objects. But wow, locking and entire area down for that little toy in Denver!? I didn't realize they had an IED threat there!

 

[Wildy]

Did none of them think to ask who Will Robinson is?

He's the guy in danger.

Probably to stop it doing cartwheels.

Probably to stop it doing cartwheels.

If I see a toy robot on a plane...

I, for one, welcome our new toy robot overlords.

Apparently the decision to detonate it was after they over heard it say "Well hello, sexy mama... wanna help kill all humans?"
