Say, I'm writing a story with these things in them. If I wanted to make it realistic, what's the best, most practical way of disabling them besides a baseball bat or a shotgun? I was thinking spray paint to their little sensor dome thing.
Emp shockwave? I think there’s a way to make one from just power transformers around town. But I’m not sure, I could have just made that up because I can’t remember where I heard it.
Nope. There is no non-nuclear weapon device on earth capable of generating a weaponizable EMP.*
While power distribution systems can create smaller EM Pulses, they're way too small and weak to do much damage to anything that isn't wired directly to it. It could fuck up your computer, but only if it's plugged into the wall. It could maybe make some random wireless electronics act weird, too, but not something like these robots.
Oh, interesting. I probably heard my thing from some shitty online sci fi story, because I went through a phase where I was super into absolute garbage short sci fi stories online.
