^^Great, itll be just like FIRST robotics; first we will loiter around for
15 minutes while an IT guru does something so we can connect. And every
fourth battle someone will randomly glitch out and the battle will be
ordered replayed. I can hardly wait. Can we also ban all 2.4Ghz gear? That
digital stuff is too noise-resistant; real men battle for control against
everything and anything leaking RF :P

Actually, we see a random glitch out every battle, but it's not the 
electronics, it's the humanoid operating the electronics ;-)


The Tri-Pact Battlefield Management System (TP-BMS) will eliminate all 
such problems ... and we do mean eliminate!

When referring to 1970 you must consider Mr Forbin's, Project Colossus.  
LOL.

Re: [TANKS] Re: Remote kill switch

Yes, indeed.  The good ole days when all we had to worry about was 
cooperation between two U.S. and Soviet computers intent on destroying 
the world with nuclear weapons.  Nowadays, there are over 1 billion 
(that's with a 'b') personal computers in use around the world (not to 
mention smart phones, tablets and embedded controllers), which are each 
approx 1 billion (that's with a 'b') times more powerful than the 
computers that inspired Mr. Forbin's pet project. When some insidious 
computer virus hooks them all together under one user's control, then we 
have something to worry about.  Fortunately, most of those computers are 
kept very busy sending/receiving email, buying/selling unnecessary stuff 
and, of course, downloading porn.

The Forbin Project!  Good movie and one of my favorite book series.  In the 
second book we find an Earth at piece being run by the AI created by the 
old US and Soviet computers.  For a non-violent entertainment, the AI 
converts the old human Naval warships into remote controlled fleets for 
remote controlled battles.  If I remember correctly, Maryland had the 
champion fleet.  Sound familiar?
