besides robotic weaponry, we are literally in this timeline
We have robotic weaponry
i was assuming mech
Mechs exist, theyre just shite.
Yeah, people often forget that human like robots are shit in general. A flying drone is a lot more efficient at delivering a grenade than a running mech.
I get a little uncanny valley twinge comparing the T2 intro to the demo videos of the current state of ambulatory humanoid machines.
It’s only a little twinge, thankfully. Bipedal humanoid mech is kinda silly, IMHO.
Carcinisation is the way for terrestrial war-bots.
Crabots rise!
Turns out biological restrictions on things like wheels limit evolution
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
That works because the entire body is a wheel though, I’m talking about multiple wheels
We should just be happy that we got a few ball&socket joints.
Wheels might take hundreds of millions of years of re-evolution.
username checks out X3 is it just me or do images from sh.itjust.works always take several hours to load?

I’m confused. Are you saying wheels are better than legs?

Cause we don’t have the technology to make good legs? Nature evolved legs cause they’re simply better than anything else, that’s literally what evolution is.
Robots have a very limited scope of their functionality compared to animals. Legs are good when you have to perform loads of different tasks to survive: chase, hide, climb, tear flesh apart, etc. A robot which only needs to deliver a grenade to an enemy doesn’t need to do anything like that.
The battery tech is getting pretty good where exoskeleton can be quite small but still very useful. Being able to run a lot without losing fighting capabilities for a soldier is still an incredible advantage.
Did you forget about drones?
Also remote controlled tracked vehicles and robodogs have been used in ukraine.
Drones are unmanned vehicles
Yeah, we already have all those things apart from futuristic technology. But the boffins promise it’s less than 5 years away now.
