6. E THICAL Q UESTIONS ?  NONE!

7. E THICAL Q UESTIONS  Will this be used to hurt anyone?  How secure does it have to be? Can it be hacked by terrorists?  Who should we allow to use SUPER TANK?  Etc..  Not the focus of this analysis.  INDUSTRIAL CASE - We’ll assume DARPA hired us for honest reasons to deploy the SUPER TANK  RESIDENTIAL CASE – We’ll assume we are producing a toy.

8. E THICAL I MPACT  How thoroughly tested should this be?  What regulations should we comply with?  Where should we add warning Labels?  User manual cautions?  Should we add any additional safety mechanisms?

9. E THICAL I MPACT  What regulations should we comply with?  It should be FCC Class B compliant.  How thoroughly tested should this be?  All FCC Class B features  Potential injury from cannon  External pinch points of motors  Reliability of all functions related to PSSCs

10. E THICAL I MPACT  Where should we add warning Labels?  If cannon can injure: On chasis  User manual cautions?  If cannon can injure  Should we add any additional safety mechanisms?  Physical safe gaurds against motor pinch points
