A New Occupation

Let us assume for a brief moment your hobby is the abduction of children, you are living in Japan, and the school you have chosen as source of targets has invested heavily in the defence of its little pupils.

Firstly, all the pupils are electronically tagged, that's not going to help your prospective jaunt. Secondly they have the Secom Robot X. That harmless robot can identify you as an unknown intruder with a delightful blend of flood lights and optics. Then after charging at you (it can outrun you by the way), it can release a highly pressurised plume of smoke up into your face.

If you don't think that would deter you have a look at this video clip - it is quite impressive.
Don't Mess With The Robot Armies

I can't see it taking off in English primary schools just yet - but who knows.

I wonder if they'll catch on as home security.

Fabulous! Like girly incognito, I can see a home-security market ... :)
