#2 Just wait till its fully connected to the (sky)net.

"We founded Knightscope after what happened at Sandy Hook,"..."You are never going to have an armed officer in every school."

Cause guns are icky? Here's a suggestion. We have a lot of vets, some missing a limb or two. Just make up the difference between their disability pay and what their old service pay was and I'm sure you can get trained, disciplined, gun qualified people who'd be more than happy to shepherd the tikes. Added bonus would be a daily reminder that war is not a videogame.

#3 The night watchman of the future is 5 feet tall, weighs 300 pounds and looks a lot like R2-D2 -- without the whimsy. And will work for $6.25 an hour.
A mallcop?
