Re: Ideas for Anti Robot Technology
Odds are high that in any society, even a hunter/gatherer/tribal one, the few warriors who survive to get old will be effective tutors of the young. You can transmit a lot of military knowledge without the benefit of an academy. IIRC Stephen Ambrose's book on Crazy Horse & Custer had a fair amount of anecdotal information about how this process proceeded with the Lakota people.

Re: Ideas for Anti Robot Technology
That depends a lot on how actually wonderful those senses are. The biggest problem with such a trick is that it's actually not a whole lot easier to bury a paint can lid than it is to bury a land mine.

There are however more paint can lids available than landmines. Well probably. I hope anyway.

Re: Ideas for Anti Robot Technology
Yes, but emplacement isn't risk-free; there's a good chance that the number you can practically make use of is smaller than your supply of land mines.

Re: Ideas for Anti Robot Technology
Another important thing, my understanding is that while the zone minds are genius, individual bots are quite dumb, and would be vulnerable to hacks, both physical and via wireless.
The zone minds may not even armour against this, as the system can 'phone home' for help and jamming that means jamming any attacker ability to do likewise, but humans are not paralyzed when they can't call higher command for advice... |
