Un-effing-believable.
“We founded Knightscope after what happened at Sandy Hook,” said William Santana Li, a co-founder of that technology company, now based in Sunnyvale, Calif. “You are never going to have an armed officer in every school.”
Um... your stoopid robot wouldn't stop a Sandy Hook or Columbine. It would have video recording of the event, a shot-up dome, and be an ineffectual waste of money to combat that scenario.
For the moment, the system is unarmed, and it is certain to become the target of teenagers who will undoubtedly get a thrill from knocking the robot over. Mr. Li said he believed this was not an insurmountable challenge, given the weight, size and video-recording ability of the bots.
My vote is to spray-paint its dome, then put a degaussing coil over its rounded dome to interfere with any GPS or wi-fi location services it has. Then watch it get run over by cars. But that's just me.

They gained some attention in June for their failed attempt to manufacture a high-tech police cruiser at Carbon Motors Corporation in Indiana.
AH HAH! I was wondering when these scam artists were going to pop up next. Guess they have found the next thing to sell to guillible moron buyers...
Don't worry this idiotic worthless thing will not ever enter production but a big deal will be made over it just like the Carbon Motors bullshit.

More like R2-Derp2.

"Danger Will Robinson!!!"
Wait... need arms to waggle about for that........

Unless it's got the same kind of armament the CIWS (also called R2D2s jokingly,) what the hell good is this thing?

You arm these things, and I'll start shooting them pro-actively. Dead serious. Even if they only have tazers or pepper spray. Remote compliance devices? Area-of-effect mace or pepper spray? No effing way.

That would be R2D2 with a hard on.

Last thing that antisocial little jerk droid needs is an automatic cannon. Because he would have used it, repeatedly. I want one of these security droids but I want it to look like a Dalek. Then I go back to my idea of an IR sensor, a roomba, and a claymore, probably a little too extreme for most public schools though.
-
Pointless. Add a few extra sensors to the ubiquitous networked camera installations already present.
or the moment, the system is unarmed, and it is certain to become the target of teenagers who will undoubtedly get a thrill from knocking the robot over. Mr. Li said he believed this was not an insurmountable challenge, given the weight, size and video-recording ability of the bots.
They'll be taking a sledgehammer to it.
-
Latest means of sucking money out of govt and wall street. The idea doesn't need to be viable; it only needs to sound viable.
-
It doesn't sound viable in the least. This literally sounds like something somebody over on Spacebattles came up with.
"Dude, we should have robots guarding our schools. "
"Unarmed? What good is that?"
"But, it's a *expletive deleted*ing ROBOT. "
You arm these things, and I'll start shooting them pro-actively. Dead serious. Even if they only have tazers or pepper spray. Remote compliance devices? Area-of-effect mace or pepper spray? No effing way.
If *I* armed the damned thing, it'd only be because it was watching my lawn. I'd also be sure to upload the Clint Eastwood / Walt Kowalsky voicepack to it.
"GET OFF MY LAWN. "
Seriously (and I really can't take this idea very seriously, because REALLY? ) this is the epitome of a pipe dream.
-
Duct tape over the camera lenses. Done.
-
A shot of spray paint would be quicker.
-
Little happy face stickers.

Where's its toilet-plunger arm?

Multi-pronged paint ball assault ...

Where's its toilet-plunger arm?
Another Dr. Who fan! =D

If these are the guys from the now defunct Carbon Motors with the 6-figure turbo biodiesel custom police cruiser, I’m smelling a “serial venture-capital bait” business model, and no actual droids in any schools. At least ones from their little startup at any rate.
-
Simple plebes.. doncha know it's illegal to assault a robo-ossifer?
YOU WILL COMPLY :police:

EX-TER-MI-NATE!! :police:
-
I have a little toy Dalek that runs around on my table. It is just about as useless as this thing.
Hidden motion detectors and cameras would be cheaper and easier. Hell, little flying helicopter drones would be better.
-
I think the Robocop would soon have a large dildo stuck to it.
-
That thing would will be unside down in a toilet within 5 minutes of the first bell.
