Boston Dynamics' freaky little robot dog Spot has made a lot of news recently. Earlier this week, the NYPD sent its Spot into a building in the Bronx to investigate a burglary, and stressed out a whole neighborhood. On Wednesday, art collective MSCHF turned its Spot's controls over to the public for an art demonstration involving a paintball gun strapped to its back.

Almost since the day Boston Dynamics started showing the world its menagerie of horrifying, fascinating humanoids and robo-dogs, we've feared them. Three years ago, I consulted with MMA coaches in the fine art of kicking that robot's ass, to be better prepared for the day we do battle (I feel in my heart it will come). I said at the time that I firmly believed in my abilities to rock the bot into another timeline, and the more details that come out about its hardware and specs, I'm even more confident I'd win in a cage match.
