You just put up chicken wire and the slaughterbots get stuck. Most of these weapons have very low tech countermeasures. Where they're effective is when they're not expected. That might work once.

- runnerup 5y agoMaybe. The 'slaughterbots' of the future as depicted use explosives to blow holes in buildings. I'd imagine they could arrange multiple in a circle to blow an arbitrarily large hole in fencing or netting. Also, usually chicken-wire fences just go around what's being protected, not necessarily over it (except for small farm animal enclosures, like actual chicken coops). It's hard for me to imagine entire buildings / neighborhoods / cities with chicken wire covering over the tops of the buildings in a way that couldn't be quickly breached with explosives. Or drones could unroll detcord in a circle against the fence as well.
