Robot Apocalypse Survival Guide-just to innovate

[VikingRhetoric]

I figure that hammers do decent damage to cars, so why not robots too?

Easy. Get hosepipe, connect to water, spray the robots and watch their circuits fry.

Or hole up in the Antarctic with a kalashnikov and some 'nades for company. Either or.

You'd be better off near the equator where they would lag like a mother. the only scenario where the poles would be a good idea is it A( the lack of an Ozone and solar radiation will fry them. and B( you get them to march up a mountain when the araura is very actice

The problem with robot apocalypse is the vagueness of the threat.

Are these the robots from the Matrix, immensely fast but light? Are we talking "Metal Gear" type robots? Star Wars AT-AT's? Terminator?


Since robots with AI could in theory improve themselves, every counter-measure would eventually be nullified as the robots would invent a new robot that would render old offensive measures useless.

I could actually imagine us using tanks with EMPs, only to have a new robot we've never seen before emerge from the robot lines to blow us all to kingdom come.

Robots are rather annoying that way.

The only way to survive would be to ensure the robots have no reason to kills us (i.e. move to an island where the robots don't really give a crap). Or space.

I like space. Let's all go to outer space.

Right now.

I say we go with the Terminator route and create a whole lot of convenient MacGuffins. That way whenever the robots think they've won we can send someone into the past or turn their brains into cheezburgers or download the entirety of /b/ into their skulls.

If game AI is any indication, these legions of deathbots will be either
1) Shooting through their own teammates to get at us
2) Walking into walls, rocks and other debris
3) Stare blankly at vehicles
4) Run straight at us with no thought of personal defense
