SpotMini has already accomplished what the Daleks never could ... conquered stairs.

So if they program it to say, "Exterminate! Exterminate!", then I think we're all in trouble.

ABC news today are saying that Boston Dynamics are going into an initial production of 100 of the SpotMini to be sold as security guards. With mass production to follow.
