It left two out of three potentially hostile Martians active. 33% success rate. FAIL.
Interestingly enough, this signature is none of the following:
A witty remark on whatever sad state of affairs the world may or may not be in
A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

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).
