- fakedang 3y agoThe comments are gold: > And, outfitted with the latest NVidia processor, it will be able to do the CandyCrush of TEN NYPD officers! > It's very funny to me that a 400lb box that can move 3mph is replacing transit cops. > It just had to be exactly 420 pounds, didn't it? > Three nights on patrol, and it wakes up next to a cougar after a heavy night partying in a Howard Beach bar. With robot herpes. Sleeps it off at Breezy. Then takes the LIRR home. Also, kudos to the writer for the coup-de-grace: > The mayor made a half-heart shape with his hand and pressed it to the K5’s waterproof exterior. The robot did nothing. Like another comment mentioned, while other departments are getting shafted on budget, looks like the NYC has a lot of free money in its hands. Maybe NYers should think of this before electing Officer Goofy for Mayor.

- nitwit005 3y ago> When asked whether the robot was at risk of vandalism in New York City, the mayor strode over to it and gave it a few firm shoves. “Let's be clear, this is not a pushover. 420 pounds. This is New York tested,” he said. Sounds like it'll get trapped underground when the elevators innevetably break.
