Tank Guardian

Tank you very much!

It is a little robot shaped like a tank that follows you around. It is camoflauged as to be hard to see. About 8 inches by 1 foot, it is compact for easy storage(it fits in your purse if you have a large enough purse). When let loose it follows you. Alert for any danger, it shoots little but fast acting knockout darts (from the cannon) at your attacker(s). It also can be set on "guard" mode, so it can protect your car or roam the halls at night looking for burglars. Runs on rechargeable, long lasting batteries. The robot will plug it into the nearest available outlet when the energy is low. If there is no suitable outlet, it will beep and let you know it needs new batteries. Perfect for the tank enthusiast and good-looking (and seemingly easy targets) ladies.

       Doable, I guess, though I doubt it would be accurate enough to be effective. Or well-enough disguised that would-be assassins would be given much pause. Most likely the thing will knock you out as well as the attackers, leaving you in a real pickle.   

       Those good-looking ladies (do you actually know any?) and tank enthusiasts (I presume that's you) would be better off simply packing a Saturday Night Special.

       22 years later i have an improvement. The car-dog tanks watch over your car in four corners. Only one of them has an expensive camera so they can get a picture of the car that bashed into your in the parking lot.   

       But here's the real deal: They get near your wheels Pick up the car a 10th of a millimeter and align it correctly in the parking space. I the other cars are out of place, they can move them first.

       Back in 2004, a roomba with a gun was cute, fun and futuristic. Now it's just another UGV.   

       Still, pace [pashute], I don't like it's chances of lift-and-shifting an SUV.

       Anything can fit in your purse if your purse is big enough.
