How Dangerous Could a Hacked Robot Possibly Be?

Slashdot has an article this morning that was interesting:

How Dangerous Could a Hacked Robot Possibly Be?

I especially like the comments, such as this one:
Fortunately, my insurance company, Old glory, can already protect you TODAY from the danger of robots. Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel. And when they grab you with their claws, you can't break free... because robots are made of metal, and they are strong.
On the upside, I own a copy of "How To Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion", so I am well prepared.
