A tech inventor says his device could help lower crimes in and around campus. ROBOCOPP CEO Sam Manson became concerned for his sister’s safety when she went to college. The result: the ROBOCOPP device. (WHAT DOES IT COST??!!)
The device is a light blue piece of plastic on a string, with an analog robot sketched on the front – but it’s structured like an electronic grenade. If you pull its head off, it screams loudly. The “sound grenade” can emit an ear-piercing 120-decibel alarm to act as a non-violent deterrent.
“The analysis of many studies depicts alarms as having an underlying psychological and physiological impact to the criminal,” Jill Turner, a ROBOCOPP public relations assistant, said.
