Someone will probably develop an underground Aibo fighting ring, which, of course, will be taken down by the ASPCRA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Robotic Animals), and will probably end up as a show on Animal Planet. Happy

If roombas can be programmed to fight, how long until they make the security roomba (maybe with integrated taser)?

Should we really teach our roombas to fight? They may stage a revolt one day and kill us in our sleep. Then vacuum up all the incriminating evidence.
