Talk:Jack McClendon

How likely is it that someone who had already produce multiple successful complex products would NOT build a prototype (Robotic Little Sister) to test the feasibility before spending a whole lot of money on major production on something that didnt work. Possibly the 'paid for all the research and alot of development' on a workable model was enough to nearly bankrupt him and resulted in his decline.

But if this 'robot' could do many of the operations a Little Sister needed to do - maneuver, sense and search for targets recognize threats,  pathfind, climb up and down stairs and over obstacles, independantly follow tasks/missions, communicate, manipulate the LS-needle tool, manage a Seaslug ???? (hard to believe McClendon did no testing of any/all of these),  then what was already developed possibly COULD have been used for many other purposes (including mobile security robots -- LS with a spotlight and a machine gun,  programmed with the 'cleaning of toilets' and cleaning windows, etc...). Arm those LS Robots sufficiently and what need of a Big Daddy ???

Heck, McClendon had whole piles of parts (we saw them)  to start applying to such ideas (he likely had enough good people working for him to suggest such a course). So much for apparently losing the 'Innovative' skill and abilities which his creating all those other robotic devices SHOWED he possessed.
