You have a right to obey the robot #1

Made by Northrop Grumman Remotec, the BatCat has a reach of more than 40 feet, an extension height of 50 feet, and a lift capacity of 12,000 pounds, according to the company's website....

But during Monday's daylong standoff, police used the BatCat to tear open the gunman's house to locate him inside, while SWAT team members maintained a safe distance.

"It proved to be very useful in securing the safety of our officers," said LAPD Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese, the San Fernando Valley's commanding officer. "I'd much rather use a mechanical instrument to keep our officers safe."
