But children, they come in so many shapes and sizes, everyone can have their own!

The latest foray into the robot army craze comes from Britain, where the Guardian reported that robot flies may be making their way through enemy territory sometime in the near future:

The idea sounds like nightmarish science fiction, but project leader Dr Rafal Zbikowski believes the first machine insects could be buzzing around his lab within seven to 10 years.

This comes on the slightly-vague-but-still-big-and-scary heels of India’s claim a few months ago that plans for their robot army were imminent.
THAT announcement itself followed on the slightly-less-vague-but-I-am-sure-well-planned-and-plenty-intimidating announcement in February that The Pentagon was developing a robot army, nanny nanny boo boo.

All this of course could be trumped by some super genius kid in a basement in Russia somewhere who uses the proceeds of the credit card skimming operation running on his scrounged-together custom laptop to fund R & D for the warfare devices his brother builds in the back bedroom. Oh, wait.

We here at Suicidebots would like to state for the record that we bow down to our future machine overlords.
