Danger, Will Robinson!

The Gwinnett County Police Department is buying another robot.

We didn’t know they already had one.

Gwinnett County Commissioners last week approved $182,523 to buy the Remotec F6A robot. The Police Department will use the 485-pound metal buddy for picking up explosives and other dangerous things.

We have a picture of Remotec F6A, and it doesn’t look anything like the arm-waving, goldfish bowl-headed creation on the 1960s TV show “Lost in Space.”

Remotec F6A looks more like Johnny Five, the lovable living bot in the movie “Short Circuit.” Can RoboCop be far behind?

I wonder if it will be as lifelike as Chuck Bannister?
