Hmm. Perhaps it’s time we start working on developing some kind of magnetic rounds that would fuck up all the electronics in these things.
Magnetite sand from gold panning would do the trick
Brilliant. Would magnetite be a strong enough electromagnet to actually damage the electronics though?

How?
Spread out magnetic shavings all over an area that you want to deny to these robots? throw a paper bag full of magnetic shavings at them?
What would that do? These things are rated to carry hundreds of pounds.

Directed EMP weapons.
