I don't think I have been frightened of an animation since I was 6 and freaked out over Fantasia.

whats wrong with dancing elephants?

If that was the robotic system you were up against then I wouldn’t be too concerned but unfortunately the systems you will be faced with in the near future will be a lot more deadly and the public have not seen them yet. I suspect the weaponised robots will be far more armoured and will possibly resemble a small battle tank, additionally it will more than likely be part of a system with airborne drones providing long range feedback.
What’s the point of having a robotic system that can run through buildings when it’s far easier to level the building.
I would expect far heavier weapons as you don’t need to worry about weight, something around 0.5 cal for human targets and maybe a small repeating canon for armoured targets.
It could be a mixture of semi autonomous for normal missions with a full AI back up if the control channel is compromised.

Joe, I bet China already has this tech.
