I hadn't seen these before. Robotic targets for sniper training. Pretty awesome.

It's all fun and games until they become self aware.

Seems they could easily be programmed to do that .....

Thats some pretty cool use of intermediate technology. Things I found most cool:

Robots scatter when fired on!
Robots interact to avoid collision.
Robots do NOT use cameras and thus work in darkness.

Things they need:
"warm suit" to replicate human body at night.
built in speed change, for replicating humans darting about.


All in all though.. dern cool.

All I gotta say is don't stray off into this training area on your segway.

As I recall it was better in the cinima that on TV. It's real slow compared to todays flicks. But yeah, nearly "jaws" like in the tension.
