[QUOTE="sinmissing, post: 1750746, member: 1960"] [SIZE=7]RTFM![/SIZE] 1) The creator used a language to program the robot. He also had a method of communicating with the robot. So there is a control room somewhere - inside the robot, or hidden elsewhere. Try to find the original defense contract for the project, and see how the money was spent. You might find a clue as to whether a hidden base was built to drive the robot, activate the robot, and give it instructions. 2) Is the robot fully articulated? Is it a 50s style boxey thing? If so, try attaching a tether to its back. If it can't remove the tether, you could maybe suspend it, or carry it to a giant pool of cement. 3) Does it avoid power lines, or walk through them? Does it seem to know the lay of the land, or does it have to double back when it encounters an obstacle? If it seems to be moving along perfectly, someone may be feeding it info. GPS technology was not very prevalent during the cold war. In fact, public consumer GPS products didn't become popular until the last 10+ years or so, almost 10 years after the cold war ended. If you can find out when it was built, you might get a clue as to what its doing on its own (preprogrammed) and whether it is being assisted (driven). 4) Focus on one body part, called shot, whatever. Remove its hip or neck. 5) Cover it with molten rubber, plastic, or cement, surround it with a radar/radio jammer. If it still is moving toward chicago, someone is inside, or someone is controlling it. Refer to the design specs from the original defense contract - it should tell you what its communication capabilities are so you can zero in on its weakness. 6) How about determining whether the robot has an aversion or disposition to his creator?
