Scooters of Mass Destruction?
Last month a man in San Francisco attacked a three year old girl with his Segway, and now the folks at DARPA are considering deploying Segways as military robots. The Segway Robotic Mobility Platform (SRPM) had received funding and is working on outfitting Segways with sensors and other add-ons for robotic combat. A lot you can say here, including the fact that this is a rare instance of a consumer technology moving to the military, but it would make a great Star Wars scene.
