The Robots are Revolting

"in Indonesia"

But can it take steel shot?

I imagine that would depend on how it was built, wouldn't it?

Maybe a powerful magnet?

AI Overview

A powerful magnet would heavily disrupt a robot's electronics, cause motors and grippers to lock up, and feed false positional data to its internal control systems. It could either instantly brick the machine or trigger an automatic safety shutdown.When a strong magnetic field interacts with a robot, it can cause several specific failures:

Sensor Disruption: Robotic arms and navigation systems often rely on Hall effect sensors to track the precise location and rotation of their joints. Flooding these sensors with an external magnet feeds the robot's control system false data, causing it to thrash violently as it tries to correct an error that doesn't exist.

Actuator and Motor Failure: A strong external magnet can interfere with the stators and permanent magnets already inside the robot's electric motors, locking up the drivetrain or joints.

Electronic Interference: Unshielded internal circuitry and microcontrollers are highly susceptible to powerful magnets. The sudden surge or interference can corrupt data, destroy delicate components, or force the system into a mandatory safety shutdown

Physical Pull: If the robot's chassis is constructed from ferrous metals, a powerful magnet will forcefully pull, pin, or physically crush the unit, depending on the mass of the robot and the strength of the magnetic field.

I wonder if it would really take anything this power to do damage?

To disrupt a robot using a magnet, you need extreme magnetic fields—typically requiring an industrial-grade degausser (capable of over 1.5 Tesla), an MRI machine, or specialized heavy electromagnets.

Happy Independence Day to you and yours

I'll bet $1000 on Megan 2.0 versus that thing in a cage match.

Magnet? How does that work?
