Does it use jet fuel?
Ringshadow
Well I mean. Radiation dose is sometimes called "burn" and you can in fact fry most robots with radiation so I don't know where i'm goin..
An EMP is just a little different from a flamethrower.
What the hell kind of logic got you to that conclusion? Flamethrowers spew burning liquid, EMPs are not heat-related at all.
You said radiation - EMP would be one of the better kinds for robot killin'.
Ringshadow said radiation. I asked why you said EMPs were 'just a little' different from flamethrowers, but looking back on it I likely >>
Jeutnarg
You do realize that most metals actually burn with the searing heat of hell once you catch them on fire, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAZS6WaVROU&user=WIVBTV
I do recognize that a flamethrower won't catch them on fire, but the general principle of lighting metal on fire is known.
ThatRandomCanadian
You don't need to melt the whole thing to a metal blob, just melt enough of the circuitry.
GhillieTrollAskold
Or cause heating of hydraulic/pneumatic systems.
Maybe we could trick the super intelligent AI into going into an oven at 200C for 30-40 minutes?
If combustible fuel lands on it, its metal frame will act like an oven itself.
I've had enough circuits fry from their own heat, basically a blowtorch on a metal chassis should ruin enough.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the killer robot has a lil' bit more fight in it than the circuit boards you deal with.
I'm going to guess it still has wires with plastic coating that can melt and cause short circuits.
DontAskMeAboutMyUsernameOkay
Don't need to burn it. The heat will weaken the structure of the metal and make them fall. Or melt the wiring/circuitry.
notafrog
That, and plus all the robots I've seen are mostly rubber, polymers, plastics, etc. Not completely metal.
Doggyseale

hitshappens
I double dare you to go say that to a welder.
Why, exactly?
You're basically proposing trying to weld with a weak flame. Even if your fire was somehow hot enough, the heat conduction and time (1)
(2) to structural instability would make it absolutely unfeasible.
toasteheh
So you're gonna stand there and try "weaken the structure of the metal with your flame thrower" while the robot bashes the shit out of you..

Last time I check, your average killer robot isn't covered in circuit boards. Just a hyperalloy combat chassis.

You go ahead and test the efficacy of your short range weapons on the killer robots. See how long that oven takes to heat up.
