Malfunction, Malfunction, Malfunction

True story from when I was at Huge PD: Imagine a massive SWAT call out, with a dangerous felon barricading himself inside a small house, reportedly armed to the teeth. Wisely the decision was made to send in the new ultra high tech, majorly expensive robot. The plan was, that one of the specially trained SWAT members would remotely control the robot into the house, and over a radio built into the robot, the suspect would be given instructions to place the weapons onto a tray-like recepticale attached to the front of the robot, thus safely diffusing the situation. Unfortunately the plan was foiled, when after being deployed into the house, the ultra high tech, majorly expensive robot got tangled up in the suspect's drapes.

Fire just seems to work better, and quicker too. If you wanna find out immediately how commited he is to dying. Set the house on fire!
