CDC declares US racism public health threat
#CDC (US Centers for Disease Control) director Dr. Rochelle Walensky declares US #racism a 'serious public health threat': ""Yet, the disparities seen over the past year were not a result of COVID-19, instead, the pandemic illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and revealed for all of America a known, but often unaddressed, epidemic impacting public health: racism." https://www.npr.org/2021/04/08/985524494/cdc-director-declares-racism-a-serious-public-health-threat

The most important takeaway here is that there is a handle underneath the robot, slightly forward of center, that one pulls to release the battery pack. A robot with no batteries isn't a functional robot, so be sure to move away as soon as you feel the catch release and the battery drop free.
Secondarily, *do not under any circumstances grab the robot by the joints.* It *will* break, if not outright *amputate,* fingers that are caught in its moving parts.
Third, all of its sensing systems are optical and spray paint is cheap and unregulated. (don't buy spray paint just to do crimes with it, kids.)
And finally, from further in the thread: "There is, of course, military versions in the works that probably get rid of most of these vulnerabilities but police departments are buying the civilian ones just cause they can."
right now i'm at script kiddie level, but I am acquiring a pile of barely working hardware.
