New Taser PackBot Video

Taser has released a 1-minute promotional video of the new Taser PackBot, showing a beefy guy getting taken down by the diminutive PackBot (which has reared up like an animal trying to make itself look menacing before attacking).
The iRobot alliance was overshadowed a bit by Taser's launch of its new "Shockwave" device which can drop six people at once, and the new XREP shotgun-fired Taser. (I'd like to see one or both of these new devices on board an iRobot Warrior, especially given that the Shockwave Taser seems ideally suited for robots in hostile environments, like clearing suspected terrorist locations in Baghdad).
The iRobot-Taser linkup did receive some criticism here over fears it could be abused:

"The victim would have to receive shocks for longer, or repeatedly, to give police time to reach the scene and restrain them, which carries greater risk to their health," warns non-lethal weapons researcher Neil Davison, of the University of Bradford, UK.
"If someone is severely punished by an autonomous robot, who are you going to take to a tribunal?" asks Steve Wright, a security expert at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK.

Wright (and presumably the reporter) don't seem to realize that PackBot is not autonomous, and isn't likely to become so anytime soon, especially for civilian applications.
iRobot explicitly made that point in this AP article about the original Taser announcement.
