Hope they didn’t order them from Skynet!

I remember playing “OMEGA” on the Apple too! I guess that shows you how old I am LOL

This reminds me of an old game I played on the Apple IIe called “OMEGA”, where you played the role of a software developer, programming the AI for cybernetic tanks. It literally had a programming language where you could write scripts telling the tank how to react to obstacles, when to follow and fire at a given target, and other variables.

Hopefully the programming for these Robo Tanks will prevent them from going rogue… unless somebody outsources the code to some Al Qaeda programmers.

Or, just hire a couple hundred minimum-wage security guards and make them bring their own weapons. What could go wrong?

This is why I can't get behind the armed forces. There was an awesome opportunity here to make this thing look like a Dalek and they whiffed the joke. ~Rhaco
