South Korea has deployed two robots along the North/South border that can sense heat and motion and, when identified, can attack enemies with a gun or “40mm automatic grenade launcher.” Umm. Scary?

The robots are the latest chapter in the long North/South stand-off and should allow South Korea, with their 655,000 man army, have a hope of surviving and invasion from the North. Considering North Korea is basically starving, it shouldn’t be hard.
