I wonder how many people would not want to work for a company also producing warbots. I certainly wouldn't, but I'm not sure how common this sentiment is.

- jhbadger 11y agoI'm sure that some people dislike any military connection, but the "warbots" that iRobot was making weren't Dalek-like monsters like the term suggests but rather robots to find mines, aid in search and rescue operations, and things like that.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI would! I interviewed, but they were already shrinking that division so no jobs there. And the military robots are far more interesting. Instead of a simple cheap wheeled thing for kitchen floors, they are talking tracks and legs and flying! All the cool stuff is in military/industrial.
- melling 11y agoProbably not many. Most people realize that even if you make advances in only commercial technology, it eventually ends up as part of the war machine anyway. Not working on "better" weapons isn't the answer you're looking for.
