    @Effing_Jedi_Master: I'm so glad that each and every post about robots gets a comment reply about Terminators. It makes me so happy that there's a wide future of humankind ahead of me which is so consistent. SO HAPPY.

    I can see how Pedobear would use these child dragging swarmbots to his advantage.


    Imagine; "A girly sleepover, a bed... You see little robots come from within the dark confines under the bed... The swarmbots attach themselves to unsuspecting little girls, pulling them to their doom, pulling them to pedobear."

    I pity the poor graduate student who was forced to assemble all those robots.

    Ok, so without knowing what is going on in the back end. The concept of it dragging a body across the floor is retarded, it's like a bad horror movie. Now my assumption is the robots really were working on their own and just going and linking up with the other robots by themselves. If that is the case that is pretty cool, but why the heck have like 20 robots doing what one or two robots could do? Guess they have money to blow. And only the swedish would come up with bright shiny colors for there robots.

    @dimsum4u: It's obviously so the little robots can fit into tighter spaces to drag the child out to where the 20 foot chainsaw-fisted master robot waits.

    Poor little girl, she keeps glancing at someone off camera to reassure her. I hope they paid her enough for all the therapy she will need later in life.

    @Curves: We need to do this test, but we can't find a child who doesn't scream in fear. What should we do?


    Are there any countries where you can sedate a child to have them swarmed by robots legally?


    Brilliant!!
