It looks like a tiny yellow submarine, but this underwater drone is on a mission to kill.

The crown-of-thorns starfish eats coral in mass outbreaks, causing widespread destruction on the Great Barrier Reef.

The starfish is recognised as one of three major threats to the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, along with coral bleaching and cyclone damage.

In a bid to eradicate the pest, Queensland researchers have developed world-first robots to administer a lethal injection to the starfish using new technology.

Of course, when they run out of starfish to kill, they'll start on humans...

If you can target illegal immigrants Trump will buy a shitload of them.

No. They'll be set on drop bears next. That'll keep 'em busy for decades
