In a shocking tale of totally expected events, iRobot has been awarded a tidy $286 million army contract to produce a merciless, bone-crushing battalion of 3,000 peaceful, loving, bomb-disarming robots (and their spare parts).

Just another chapter in the ever-unfolding legal and philosophical drama that is the iRobot / Robotic FX story. iRobot — this round is all yours.
