"How will they handle all the stairs? "Times Square is a fully accessible station, with ramps and elevators throughout. If the test program is successful, it would be easy to extend their patrol area to Grand Central station with the use of the shuttle. |

Heypaul : I thought that you were kidding us until I saw the press release. I can see the robots getting on the wrong train and ending up in Brooklyn. You may recall that many years ago Metro-North had a robot called Metro- Man. I thing that the poor guy ended up as a coke dispenser at an IBM factory. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

How will they handle all the stairs?There are robots that can handle them. The MTA will use their usual methodology and replace all stairs with ramps or elevators rather than purchase robots that can handle stairs. |

He is quite popular with some of his fellow inmates. Metro-Man has almost human joint flexibility |

I’m familiar with Marty. The story goes that someone surrounded him with a bunch of milk jugs, and he got blocked in because his sensors told him he was obstructed.then there was the time he escaped I’m sure the subway robots are more sophisticated, but who knows. I know somebody’s going to pull some pranks. |

This is actually a later itiration of Davros. The first time he appeared was when the Time Lords sent the Fifth Doctor (Tom Baker, my favorite Doctor) back in time to destroy the Daleks got off the ground. The earliest Davros had a ridiculous rubber mask, so much fun to watch. |
