That depends on whether they've already given you a MAC code.

Automatic Australian BAR Rifle from WW2; fires kinda slow, but the shells are big and you could probably have a great time blasting chunks off the robot.
Or else somebody needs to build an EMP grenade.

You probably wouldn't want to set an EMP off in your own garden considering the number of unshielded electronic devices you likely rely on ...

 This is true. How about an EMP gun then? Like in Sky Captain?

I'm all in for vacuum valves. They do not care too much about EMP...
ENIAC, go!

I wonder if a standard Taser would do it...

Boys Anti-tank Rifle would be more fun.

This buyout (Boston Dynamics) is only the latest in a string of robotics companies that Google has acquired.

I just watched a segment on Ch4 news about it, and they said Google has bought 7 companies in this field over the last 7 months

With the first one or two I figured it was just billionaires buying cool toys - after all, whats cooler than robots? But now its a concerted effort - there must be an endgame.

Lasers won't work, and take too much power. Build a large Tesla coil in each corner of the yard, triggered by a cheap motion sensor from the hardware store.

Well I guess that's evolution:
freakin' shark with laser beams attached to their head
--> killer dolphins
--> RobotDog
--> OCP / Cyberdyne....
sounds logical and goddamn freaky, but we are all living in the matrix or a dragon's dream anyway...
we missed the "Steve Austin" step though...

Microwave bursts from your house will protect you from the critters. All you need is an old kitchen microwave and a metal cone. At the same time, they will also protect your garden from the chucks and other natural vermin as well. I wonder what micro waves will do to zombies?
