Through everything that is evil. Maybe greed for conquest and ruling of the whole earth, control and subjugation of masses that have been diminished to managable slave units for a small groups amusement and labor force. Eventually escalating into madness that would lead to every man fighting til the last one standing. Might be world wide contamination that makes the earth unsuitable for life.
Maybe a warfare virus in the wrong hands mutating into uncurable string when out there and wiping all humanity out.

Scientists Program Largest Swarm of Robots Ever
08.14.14
Alone, the simple little robot can’t do much, shuffling around on three vibrating tooth-pick legs. But working with 1,000 or more like-minded fellow bots, it becomes part of a swarm that can self-assemble into any two-dimensional shape.
These are some of the first steps toward creating huge herds of tiny robots that form larger structures—including bigger robots. Building swarming robots can also help scientists understand collective behavior seen in nature, from bird flocks and fish schools to networks of cells and neurons.
In the past, researchers have only been able to program at most a couple hundred robots to work together. Now, researchers at Harvard University have programmed the biggest robot swarm yet.
“It’s really a big accomplishment,” said roboticist Hod Lipson of Cornell University, who wasn’t involved in the work. “It’s the first demonstration of this swarm robotic behavior at the scale of 1,000 physical robots.” Getting even tens or a hundred robots to work together is difficult, with a lot of algorithmic and technical challenges, he says.
