Bot Dominance

 IMG_0446-web

Israel just shot down a drone using a Patriot missile.  ROI on that "attack" was ~100 to one.  At $100 a drone, a solid strategy would be to launch them 24x7 to grief the air defense system.  

More on how bots are changing warfare/defense.  

>> Riot control drone: the skunk.

"The Skunk is equipped with 4 high-capacity paint ball barrels releasing at up to 20 paint balls per second each, with 80 Pepper balls per second stopping any crowd in its tracks.  The current hopper capacity of 4000 balls and with a High Pressure Carbon Fiber Air system it allows for real stopping power. Bright strobe lights, Bright Eye Safe Lasers and with on-board speakers enables communication and warnings to the crowd."

>>Linux Rifle enables 1,000 yard bullseyes for everyone.  Good article over at Ars Technica on it.
