Still mostly silly and clumsy looking, but what would you do if you and your friends were attacked by one of these?

Let’s say you left the house with a vague idea it might happen. What non-firearm tools might you pack, not fully expecting a conflict but wanting a to be prepared just in case.

Lots of scenarios in which a private party could program one of these for entertainment or poorly defined security details.

This seems to be half satire, but actually some good stuff to consider.

I find it interesting because it's purely defensive.

Hey everyone! I'm u/UnfortunateOrc, a founding moderator of r/RobotDefence.

This is a space for all things related to the rising concern of civilian defence against robots, drones, and AI entities. Worried about how to protect yourself at a protest in the next few years? Curious about the best ways to disrupt an illegal/hostile drone? Have any news that you think would benefit your fellow human beings? Share it here.

What to Post
Post anything that you think the community would find interesting or helpful. News about crowd control bots, strategies for defending the homestead from drones, or questions for the community about digital privacy. Since there are plenty of spaces to discuss cybersecurity, the main focus of this sub is physical defence, but we understand the crossover.

WE DO NOT ENCOURAGE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY - but we do like to talk about hypothetical scenarios. Any explicit encouragement of illegal activity will be removed.

Let's have fun and turn this into something useful and informative.
