I cannot believe you just fell for the bucket of water balanced
on the top of the door trick! :)

On another point, is there still a reluctance to allow the robot
to operate any weaponry its self?
I know people get very nervous about giving machines weapons.

I've seen documentation for tripod mounted anti-tank weapons
which have a sensor that will fire the weapon if anything passes
it.
Sort of thing you place in a bush at the side of a road.
Lots of concerns about friendly fire though.
