A 420-pound, 5-foot-2 robocop with a giant camera for a face will begin patrolling the Times Square subway station overnight, the NYPD has announced.

    The K5 has been in some sticky situations in other cities. One was toppled and slathered in barbecue sauce in San Francisco…

    I don’t know why but this is just a hilarious failure state for a giant robot.

        After living for many years in NYC, I give it 3 days before a group of folks push it in front a train. I wish them the best
