Oh man, carnivorous robots.  What a concept.  Now our "mind children" 
can potentially compete for food, eh?   At least that is how the 
paranoid may see it.

Wouldn't a nice little fleck of some radioactive isotope be maybe a 
touch more preferable than instilling hunting patterns (presumably) and 
the ability to digest biological creatures?
