But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.
“You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

Probably because Trump hates real dogs.
I think the bronzer has a bad effect on them.
can you just approach them and turn them over so they cant get up themselves anymore,, would be some fun activism?
Or is that a crime already in such a free country

Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?
If they appeared with guns, wouldn't the robodogs also be strapped?
These are not good boys

Ah life really does imitate art
Wouldn't be surprised if it was named after the game. These guys like to name their companies nerdy sinister names on purpose. Like Palantir
Shitty ass movie life
Shitty time travelers and their stormtrooper aim.
Somebody definitely fucked up the timeline and they send these untrained time-travellers to try and fix it (and failed miserably).
Now we get Black Mirror robot dogs.

Coo at them. Pet them. Call them a good doggie. Drop a treat on them, all in defiance.
That's a unique approach to suicide-by-cop
The ones at Mar-A-Lago are unarmed.
My approach to the armed ones, particularly the TASER-equipped ones used by some US law enforcement departments, would be very different.
They are also not autonomous. They have armed secret service agents very nearby. If the sensors on the dog alert them, trigger happy armed guards will come.
Joke's on them, I won the robot dogs over with my pets and can turn the sentry turrets against the guards.
That's assuming I actually look like a threat, rather than someone infatuated with the weird robot dog.
It's a golf park full of rich old people. I bet the dog-hecklers will come dozens per hour.

Because real dogs refuse the job.
Keep the proles out.
So they have a coffee brewer on their back but you cannot pet? Please make sense.
