    Yes. He certainly looks like he's trying to get as fetal as possible under that warm little net. I mean, if it was shot at you, would it even do anything? Carrying no weight...

    he looks like he should still be able to get up and run like hell

    Lucky he"s holding that net onto himself with both hands. otherwise he"d be able to get to his unecumbered feet and run away.

    why the obsession with intruders? does japan get a lot of 'em?

  • gogogo at 03:49 PM JST - 26th January

    This looks so stupid and useless, a net like that would not hold anyone.

    Why the T-34? The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank produced from 1940 to 1958. Surely Japan can think of something more original for a remote control net shooting toy that would be useless against an intruder with a sharp knife.

    a poisonous gas or a heated laser beam could have been more effective than this one.

    I can see great potential for this on the stage of a certain Roppongi fetish club...

    As long as the perp lays down in the fetal position, I'm sure this robotoy will work just fine.

    It looks to me as if the mock intruder is pulling the net over himself. The robot may have only netted the torso.

    If it works under water, might come in handy get some fish or tako.

    The LDP will be using this device to capture voters in the next election.

    Why an intruder should wait until it fires a net?!

  • JeromeInJapan at 07:55 AM JST - 27th January

    Who would want to catch a intruder? Id rather a robot with laser eyes that says "exterminate, exterminate" and does just so. Then turns itself in to the local J cops.

    It's a nice beginning, a great idea to make such robot but i personally think that the net throwing feature isn't enough to stop the intruder. There should be an extremely loud siren that will cause some damage to his hearing canal, and then a video recorder and a rubber bullets gun that will constantly keep shooting at his lower body until the intruder leaves the home. Only with features like these would i put money down on table and buy one of them even if the price was a bit higher...
