What do you guys think? The real pibble in the bottom of the screen cowers in fear.
If these robot dogs had a nanny dog program installed, and were fitted with teeth/jaws of some sort, would a normal pibble be able to beat them?
How much damage do you think is needed to disable one? Would some buckshot at center mass do the trick? Can they be armored?
If the mind of a pibble is uploaded into one, is it still protected by animal cruelty laws?
These are the questions pibble hunters need to be asking as we enter a new era of technological development.

I was against these dog bots but seeing a pebbles next to them makes me want full adoption of the former. Getting an AvP feeling from all this.

Probably pibbles with lasers strapped to their backs.

They'll go back in time to nanny your child before it's born

These robodogs look very susceptible to rotator joint failure, and I doubt they're appreciably armored (for now). in their current state, I doubt they have redundant systems either. Buckshot should destroy enough cabling and deform the moving parts enough that they'd be immobile at a minimum. Give it a decade, and it'll probably be a different story.
I still think a pibble has an advantage at the moment. There's enough exposed parts that they can lovingly nanny apart to render it broken.
Why upload the mind when you can just scoop out a pibble brain and wire it into the robot through an artificial nervous system and have it sustained in a nutrient soup?

For now you can, just wait until they have guns and teeth.

It doesn't matter if you can take one down with buckshot when the entire pack's going to head towards you after that and their reaction time and accuracy will be a heck of a lot better than yours
