I just came upon a story about an Irish bar that offers free pool. It's called O'Terrills and is in a rough neighborhood in Atlanta. The owner of the bar, Rufus, built a 300 lb., waist-high robot that has glowing red eyes, high powered spotlights, a high res video camera that can transmit video up to 2 miles away, a water cannon, and a loudspeaker. Imagine hearing "This is private property. You are trespassing. Move on." It's controlled with a remote control. And yes, it chases vagrants...

Watch this robot in action:

Eh, that's not a "rough" neighborhood. :P

Granted, there's a fair number of homeless in the general area...

But, I have heard about the "bum bot" sometime in the recent past. :P

Granted there are rougher neighborhoods; however in another video with Rufus that was shown on TV, he mentions that he's had guns put in his face on several occasions right where his bar is.

Here's a link to a story today about it.
