Short Circuit Halts Russian Robocop

A Russian Robocop hailed as the first member of a revolutionary new crime-fighting force broke down on its first day after rain caused a short circuit. The 2m egg-shaped robot on four wheels was unveiled by city authorities in Perm in a blaze of publicity, but it was only on the streets for a few hours before experts had to be called in for repairs. Heavy rain leaked through and damaged its circuitry. Just for the record, the robot is a prototype and has video cameras and sensors which relay pictures and data to police stations across the city.

  1. If it had gotten struck by lightning, we may have gotten a zany 80s romp.
