I'm trying to imagine something like this getting installed in my old school in the UK, and it's so bizarre and totally removed from my reality growing up that I can't even picture it.

The whole concept of a robot armed with a lethal weapon just sitting there in my classroom each and every day, waiting for someone in a remote control centre to decide that someone in the room should be killed? I think that would traumatize me a little even if there never was an attack.
