Robots would be tougher to destroy with most weapons available to the populus but a zed can be put down with a pipe.both "enemies" have many simularities like needing no rest or food and weather and temp not effecting them too much,also no need for air and not understanding fear.but zombies(max brooks style) are unintelligent and slow while robots can be very cunning and humans tend to not be able to counter logic that well.while I have a more primal fear of Zombies I think robots would pose the greater risk.On the humours side the robot apocalypse wpould have many openings for funny stuff.With all the global warming crap flying around I can Imangine some "green" robot soldiers complete with large wind turbines or solar panels on their backs.Also the ever popular sail as motive power will be very amusing.

But it also depends on how advanced the robot is. The possibility for actual intelligence for a robot any time in the future is slim to none. This means that, with the understanding of a robot's "thought" process through its AI, they're not really more cunning than a zombie. Also, like Brigetta said, there will always be a safety option with robots. I don't think the situation will rise when there won't be. I think zombies have a great advantage over robots: infinite fuel supply, infinite reproductive capability, and ability to take a hit. Software is and will be very easily destructible in electronic devices. Also, the stuff that runs a robot, servos and motors and such, can be found anywhere in the robot's body. Without one of these many important parts, the robot may not be able to operate. The zombie, however, has only one driving force.

yes but what if a rouge human or some cult bent on armagedon designed some initial robots that were made to fight and had armor?Coke wouldn't be much of a weapon then.Also who says the robots couldn't be lead by some human or alien intelligence?I think that it all depends on the senario really.I guess robots or zombies could be tough or weak depending on so many variables that while very entertaining this argument won't really have a definative answer.For me since zombies evoke much more fear in me I have spent more braincells on thinking of ways toovercome the issue so robots being more of an unknown are the greater threat in my mind.

Thank you for recognizing my ability to make a good discussion topic! I was even beginning to doubt myself!

If the way of the liquid, such as Coke or a fire-hose wouldn't work, why not use livewires? I believe that mankind is capable enough to create a plausible solution before the destruction of the species. We're not even in a difficult situation and we've come up with a few great ideas already.
Also, as seen in any zombie movie or piece of writing, the zombie only poses half the threat in a zombie attack. The other half comes from the unprepared or stressed living person. While frenzied, they possess the same intelligence as any other person, but are even more dangerous. They use the ability to kill others or infect everyone for their own crafty, but twisted motives.
If a rational person can find a way to destroy a robot army, a man driven to lunacy by the situation of a zombie attack poses an even greater threat than any number of robots.
