Can we brainstorm how you would compromise one of these robots? I don't think I've seen discussion about how you would stop one in an adverse situation. Hogtie cowboy style? Taser? Paint splashed over sensors?

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking some high strength fishing line fashioned into a bolo sling would be cheap. Or maybe just some “invisibility cloak” made out of astronaut blankets.

I would figure conventional firearms would do the job pretty well depending on the round. That being said I could well see "anti robot" rounds becoming a thing similar to "zombie" stuff a few years ago.

Bullets, lasers, paint, bricks, rope, pipes, anything that works on a human and more. Doesn't seem particularly hard if they're in range. Now if they're sniping you from a mile away, that's a bit worse.

  > Now if they're sniping you from a mile away, that's a bit worse. Humans snipers regularly make kills at that distance or farther, so that's not really a new threat. I'd be more worried about the development of supersonic AGMs that are smaller and cheaper. Right now, it doesn't make much economic sense to fire a $10K USD missile to kill random people (though the USA does it anyway), but if it only costs $1K... now you're starting to get to WMD levels of murder.

    Yeah but I reckon these kind of robots won't be deployed strictly against human snipers. The average enemy won't have the skill nor equipment to retaliate against long range, rapid fire sniping. A robot, maybe with drone support, could be really accurate at launching grenades or unguided mortar rounds. Or hell, attach it to an artillery gun. Much cheaper than missiles.
