If you're feeling creative, and can prepare beforehand, Spot is literally just controlled with an Android tablet. In manual (as in, non-autonomous) mode, Spot is literally just communicating over Wifi.

There are, of course, military versions in the works that probably get rid of most of these vulnerabilities but police departments are buying the civilian ones just cause they can.
The quick-change batteries, safety cutout, wifi control, etc make plenty of sense for the ADVERTISED usage cases of disaster recovery, warehousing, power plant maintenance, HAZMAT, EOD, etc as this isn't even supposed to get within 2 meters of anyone while running.

"Each tree tries to earn the best spot in the sun.
But by being too greedy, they would risk prompting the death of their neighbors and thus of the protection network, or even the collapse of the system. In the forest, all trees are connected. That's why "survival of the fittest" only applies when no member of the community is in danger.
