Be advised:
The robot uprising is real, I say again, the robot uprising is real, take whatever precautions you feel are necessary!
Here's two scouts going out on patrol...

Here's one of their commanders giving a briefing prior to an assault...

Here they are massing for an assault on an unsuspecting SUV...

You have been warned, take whatever steps you can to protect you and your loved ones. They are not invincible, I did spot one stuck in a hedge where it had strayed onto a sloping verge.
They are quite sneaky and may try to lure you in with promises of nourishment.
At this point it may also be advisable to be nice to your appliances until we establish whose side they are on.
Briefing ends..
the order has gone out ...
"LOCK AND LOAD"
any attack by these sneaky types will be met with extreme prejudiced >:D
there is no need for them to approach my home .... with their promises of nourishment
I go and get my take-aways myself :food:
I suspect the increase in household and garden appliances that are wi-fi enabled.
this is obviously how they pass intel and receive their orders.
I have checked my appliances, and they all only have a three wire connection to the mains. this hopefully will keep my family safe.

Put the .50 cal away, one round 7.62 each will be enough!! :laughabovepost:
@Jack (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=689)
oh no..
I've seen terminator, I want to be sure that when they go down, they stay down >:(
they may even have kevlar panels :hmmm:
maybe an M72 would be a better choice :D :bounce:
Amazon had better fit them with submersable GPS before they introduce them in Manchester! :D
If you don't get it, just search "Mobike Manchester".

Hmm, so they are connected to the grid then, much like Skynet...
...I'm sure you've nothing to worry about.
As regards lifting them, apparently they scream blue murder if they're picked up.
if the washing machine starts saying "let's play a game" I can assure you I will be moving straight to DEFCON-1 :smiley-laughing:

ahhh, I had not thought of that ....... :-[
connected via a smart meter that, while it cannot manage to pass your meter readings, is continually in contact with the washing machine, microwave oven, and lawn mower [reporting changes in external defences] and updating it's attack plans..
I may need to rethink the defences, luckily the grandsons will be over at the weekend, and they are always looking for jobs to earn spending money :hmmm:
so an anti tank ditch around the property with a flame fougasse with 5B might at least keep the intruders out, but it's those pesky household appliances that need to be under constant surveillance..
a job for HB :D

Wow!! That film quote from WarGames goes back a good few years, early 80's I think, and that nuclear "game" ended in stalemate thankfully!

as they say....
just because you're paranoid doesn't mean to say they aren't out to get you :D
Ok, I'll bite, what are they?

Oh, sorry. They're grocery delivery robots. They operate in certain areas in Milton Keynes. These particular ones are linked with a Co-Op store in West Bletchley. You go online, order your delivery, they turn up at your house and you have an app on your phone which unlocks them to allow you to retrieve your order.
They have GPS, obviously, can detect cars/vehicles/pedestrians 360deg. They wait until its safe to cross a road, will stop to allow pedestrians to pass etc.
Just the thing when you're too idle to walk to the shop for fags and a beer.
BUT, what are they really ?
I suspect they are the ground component of a combined ground and air robot force attack, the air component cunningly disguised as drone delivery vehicles :-\
mind you, don't expect any help from the government, if they can't, with the full power of the Royal Navy and the UK Border Force, stop a pile of rubber dinghy's crossing the channel to invade our shores, what chance do we have against the Robotic Invasion Force ? :uneasy:
I know one thing, the first time I go to use the loo and find a periscope poking up above the surface there will be a full on chemical response [ok Tesco thick bleach] on the intruder. >:D
"you have an app on your phone "
thank goodness for non-smart flip phones, no apps and maybe we [the non users of smart phones] will be the only ones to survive this assault :angel:

They've already been causing problems for blind people when they jam up on the side of the road at pedestrian crossings.
My guess is it won't take long for the local wildlife to realise they have food in them and start ambushing them. (some parts of Australia area already apparently no fly zones for Amazon delivery drones due to bird attacks).

Oh now thats a hopeful thought (I'm also a flip phone using voluntary luddite, working in IT for decades does that to you I think!). We have Bears, Cougars and enough Eagles to take on a carrier battlegroup. Would love to see a bear in the middle of the road just sitting there all happily with one of these in its lap using it like a picnic hamper! :)

Really not getting this are you.
You have a phone...
...it's connected to a network...
...it has chips in it, even though it has no apps...
...signal triangulation?
I don't believe the T-800 had any 'apps' either.
Would you like me to draw you a picture?
:hmmm:
so if they have hacked into the forum, they are already tracking me :-[ :'(
or is NGF just a front [after all our leader is called 'TANK'] which is using it to gain information on the intelligent, ie N gauge not the other lots, humans to ensure our removal in the first strike ?
I'm off down to Tesco to buy a roll of cooking foil to wrap myself in to stop them reading my brain signals :o
In other news...
Reports are coming in of major shortages of cooking foil.
Retailers spokesman Rob Otgod said, "We don't understand it, in the last hour alone all our members stores have sold out of aluminium foil. We weren't expecting anything like this until at least the week before Christmas. "
Er, has anyone noticed that an anagram of "Global Moderator" is...
Robot Dream Goall !!!
:-X
ALERT - ALERT - ALERT
all defences to DEFCON-2
ahhhhh,
ok stand down........ :-[
thought the explosions to the east were air defence missiles engaging an attacking delivery drone .....
turned out to just be some cretin who can't read a calendar and was celebrating Nov 5th .

Do cats like riding on them?

Anyway, back on topic, it's common knowledge that "they" now embed 5G chips in alumnium foil. Just saying, like.
Yes
