More the fact that I go to MSOE than the article, but still.

That's pretty sweet.]]>Nov 14th 2006 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/Nov 14th 2006 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/Nov 14th 2006 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/Nov 14th 2006 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/
Time to call up friends from the school of engineering and find out just what it takes to take over control of this thing once it's put in action. Ohh, to imagine those terrified police officers trying to shoot down their own bot as it turns on them tasering half the force.

If you've never had the pleasure of dealing with small town middle of nowhere cops, well, they can be a bit overzealous sometimes. Surely they'll be using this thing to root out potentially dangerous criminals such as 12 year olds downloading music and high schoolers smoking pot.

From http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=24592

Waukesha:
Crime: The number of violent crimes recorded by the FBI in 2003 was 96. The number of murders and homicides was 1. The violent crime rate was 1.4 per 1,000 people.

Why would a place like Waukesha ever, ever need something like this? Surely the world is about to end...]]>Nov 14th 2006 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/Why would you need this in Waukesha, you ask??

THIS is why:

And to the guy who said this was to control the mexican population... It's Puerto Rican. Don't call them mexicans or you WILL need this tazer-wielding robot overlord to contain their anger!!!

Also, tasers didn't work on that lady... they need to arm this thing with gas, or a flamethrower, or at least some heavy mechanized guns.]]>Mar 23rd 2009 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/I'm live in Waukesha and rarely see the police bots, let along the police, around. This seems like a stupid solution looking for a problem...and Waukesha apparently volunteered.]]>Nov 14th 2006 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/14/taser-equipped-police-bot-will-clean-up-lawless-waukesha-wiscon/
