    Robodog

    You've seen plenty of videos showing how capable and tough the Boston Dynamics robot canine is.
    When they announced they were selling copies of "spot" for $75,000 each I chuckled.
    I was thinking nobody I know will be buying one.
    But turns out I was wrong because guess who's buying one... YOU are!
    Now you don't have to worry about the care and feeding or maintainance, or a licence.
    All that will be taken care of by your police department when Spot will live.
    Oh, and $75,000 is the base model, a stripper, doesn't even include machine guns or missiles.

    My 3%er* neighbor is already pretty jumpy. This might be fun to have patrolling the property line.

    "Never work below an elevated Spot."
    I really don't care much for police attack dogs. either in theory or practice,  So bring Spot on.
    I had a great pair of videos about  robodogs.  I'll try to find and post.

    I hadn't watched this for a while and enjoyed it even more than I did before.
