A Robot Uprising would be more disasterous to humanity than a Zombie Apocalypse

Lets begin. 1. Robots can manipulate human technology A. Weapons The humanoid robot's ability to wield human weaponry, such as machine guns and military vehicles, gives them an instant advantage over zombies, which are far too brainless and simple-minded to understand them. For example, in I Robot, the robot uprising easily overruns a police station and steal the officer's guns right out of their hands. Alternately, you can look at this pic and easily see that robots can harness human weaponry. http://someniceshit.files.wordpress.com... Therefore, if a robot uprising were to occur, they could easily match the humans' firepower by manipulating the same weapons they themselves use. It could even be argued that they would be MORE effective because of their intelligence and strong physical capabilities. In addition, the ability to use human weapons gives them several more methods of attack than zombies have. This will also turn any argument con makes regarding humans using weapons to fight back, because robots could use the exact same things to bring them down. B. Range The ability to use firearms also gives robots a range advantage over zombies, which can only strike by direct, up-close-and-personal means. Therefore, robots can attack from both short, medium, and long range, contrary to zombies which are limited to arm swipes and zombie chomps. C. Vehicles But its not just weapons. They can also harness cars, helicopters, and other vehicles. This gives them an instant speed and mobility advantage. Humans cant simply hope to get in the nearest car and flee if the going gets tough. Humanoid robots will easily pursue their prey. In addition, their ability to harness airborne mobility such as helicopters and fighter-planes, means that man cannot escape the fight by going airborne and simply shooting from above, which would be a super-easy way to squash a horde of zombies. 2. The intellect of robots gives them strategic capabilities A. Defense First, zombies are dumb and foolish; my opponent himself defines zombies as having no mental capacity. Their lust for brains causes them to walk blindly in a linear line, straight into oncoming firepower. They often make no effort to avoid damage, and instead simply waltz slowly toward their prey like mere...zombies Robots, on the contrary, are intelligent, sentient beings. They are aware they can sustain damage and thus work to avoid it; they will not simply walk into the onslaught of human firepower raining down on them. For example, in I Robot once again, a mini-battle takes place between a large group of humans with various blunt weapons, and a similar group of robots armed with nothing. The humanoids easily crush the human force by stealing their weapons, dodging incoming attacks, and jumping high in the air to give a strategic aerial attack. Zombies neither can nor will make such effort. Robots would use cover, hiding places, and flanking techniques to avoid incoming firepower and overrun the human force. They can also bring various Shield devices into battle to deflect bullets coming their way. This defensive capability is something zombies simply to not have the brains to think of. B. Indirect attacks Robots can also resort to unconventional means to destroy humanity that zombies could never achieve. Rather than go at the humans directly, which are likely loaded with weapons, they could simply destroy as many farms and forests as they could find, depriving humans of their food supply. Or they could contaminate springs and other fresh water sources, depriving humans of their water supply. Finally, they could launch a biological or chemical weapon at a human outpost, which the robots would obviously not be affected by. Bots could think of such tactics; its highly doubtful that zombies can do the same. 3. Robots can be repaired and manufactured A. Multiplication You may think that zombies are advantaged because they can turn humans into zombies, thus creating more of themselves. Not so fast. Remember, robots are made of various metal alloys that are shipped to a factory and melded to become a robot. By doing so, factories can mass-produce an army within weeks or even days. Thus, robots can replicate themselves infinitely by simply taking over a factory and continuing production. This again happened in I Robot; Will Smith even pointed out that a particular factory was run by "robots building robots". Heck, they're not even limited by the amount of humans on the planet like zombies are. They can mass produce as many robots as the elements on Earth can sustain. Zombies however, rely on biting a struggling human as a prerequisite for multiplication; they cant simply magnify their force at will. So while the perception of zombies destroying humanity by sheer numbers may be feasible, in reality, robots actually do this even BETTER. B. Maintenance Also, robots have the ability to repair themselves. Being made of titanium and copper wires has more benefits than just a hard outer shell. If a robot is able to survive a battle wounded, it can simply go back to a factory or other site to be repaired back to full condition, just as wrecked cars are fixed at the nearest auto shop. In contrast, zombies are pretty much screwed if they lose a head or two. While they can still fight if an arm is chopped off, they would be inhibited in battle, with no way to compensate. 4. Robots can transcend geographical boundaries. Considering that a zombie outbreak usually starts through a contagious disease and goes from there, one can simply escape it by moving to a different continent. For example, if an outbreak were to start in Canada, the zombies could, at best, spread throughout North and South America before having their expansion halted by the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Zombies can't really swim, so their only option would be to walk into the bottom of the sea and hoof it. Unfortunately, the water pressure at the bottom of the sea is well over 16,000 pounds per square inch, meaning there's approximately a -2% chance they would make it to the other side. So while they may spread to Alaska and be able to see Russia from their window, they'd have no real way of actually getting there. And they cant try and float their way over either. Even if the massive ocean waves didn't push them right back to shore, the water would decompose what's left of their "bodies" before they could get halfway to Ireland. Robots however, can swim use boats. Therefore, acknowledge robots over zombies for a few reasons: They use human tech against them, are infinitely smarter than brain-dead zombies, multiply more efficiently, and aren't limited by geographical constraints. I hand it to the con.
