Maybe maybe not. Robots and robots are not the same thing. The *bad guy
robots* probably wont feel more sympathy for robots fighting against them
than for humans. The robots we develop can then be programmed with
something like the three laws of robotics but still develop themself like
The *bad guy robots*.
Who said robocops?
Maybe the use of our limited brain capacity will sometime be neglible in
the big picture, and maybe we will get killed in this clash of the titans
but we will have a fighting chance.

That is certainly right. and one of the best reasons i have heard why
humans should go to space. To have direct acces to the raw materials.
