Hold on!! You reworded the first law and through the rewording left
out a critical part. it should read "A robot may not through action or
inaction allow a human being to come to harm".
I am an Asimov reader too! ;-)
Anyway - glad to hear you may reassemble it. I would have thought a
robot as neat as Jama would (like the robot "Speedy" in the story
"runaround") have a slightly higher law three - so if definately
couldnt have self-destructed. Definately the act of another robot - on
that I concur with K.
