Robot Apocalypse Survival Guide-just to innovate

[Saskwach]

So we've established some good survival measures for the inevitable zombie epidemic. The question now is what happens when robots begin taking over? This I believe is the more pressing question as zombies are fairly standard things that everyone has a general understanding of while robots are a much more varied and misunderstood threat.
Plans?

A towel, never forget the towel.

Easy:

Lure the robots into a very, VERY large parking lot with only two roads in/out.

Fashion 2 official looking signs with the following captions:

1) NO EXIT
2) USE OTHER EXIT

Sit back and watch the sparks fly.

It seems from this limited sample I can conclude that the Escapist community regards zombie infestation a much more credible threat than robot revolution. More fools you, I say.

I would go back in time to make love with my resistance leaders mother, effectively allowing him to be born and becoming his father but being younger than him.

I always do, robots are simple once you figure out that only Bill Gates can afford an army of them.

So all we have to do is hang on until the Vista upgrade and we're home free?

the trouble with robots is our reliance on technology. You would need one of these to fight them off:

Pretty much. Worst case scenario is that we get Apple robots. I don't know any commands for that and I doubt giving it a virus would help.

The best way to survive the Robot apocalypse is to become one. Embrace the cyborg implants!

A virus would work fine; we just don't have any.

Still, when all else fails, use an axe. Axes always win.

If it uses I-toy technology for sight then just cover its camera

Just program in the three laws, and we're fine. Although I do consider that slavery.

Correct. Nukes are also fantastic, since they release an EMP on detonation (in addition to the temperature and shockwave). Or use large magnets.

I actually got a book for Christmas dealing with this very subject. "How To Survive A Robot Uprising" by Daniel H. Wilson , himself a roboticist.

It lists helpful tips such as using teflon tape to stop wall climbing bots, confusing spy satellites with shrubbery and a whole compendium of helpful ways to avoid our future metal overlords.

I suggest you all try and find a copy either in shops or online.

satellites with shrubbery

AHA! So the Knights are in fact protectors of humanity against the inevitable Robot uprising!

We demand... A shrubbery!
