Just don't connect this thing to Skynet (obligatory Terminator reference).

It left two out of three potentially hostile Martians active. 33% success rate. FAIL.

Wow, Deus Ex security bots will soon be reality I guess.

Add to that the flying saucer taser drones and the future seems a little scary.

Well that's just plain silly. In reality, the craft uses mass effect fields to accelerate minuscule amounts of metal from a modest stash hidden within the hull. As you know, even a paint chip can give off the energy an atomic bomb at super-high speeds, so it's only a matter of speeding up incredibly tiny flecks of steel and you've got yourself virtually unlimited ammunition.

Here's the youtube link for the original video, since the first link sucked.

By the way, I'm getting these vids from a site called botjunkie.com - pretty cool site for all things robot (killer or otherwise).
