What is "restrictor"

Usage examples of "restrictor".

He asked Hooker what he thought about the restrictor plates NASCAR was imposing on the cars.

Thanksgiving, to both the restricted and the restrictors, seemed to be just the sort of excuse the general would be pleased to have available.

The machine that broke the breakproof restrictor that is built into every robot or android since time began.

Money to hire the pull artists who could remove the supposedly unremovable restrictors from a New Law robot’s body.

Someone took the restrictors off a batch of New Law robots, modified them somehow to react to a different control system, and plugged them into these SPRs.

The restrictors saw to it that any New Law robot attempting to leave Purgatory would be shut down as it tried to go.

Clearly the restrictors have been modified not only to shut down the robots in some different way, but also to be removable in a hurry.

I know he was also toying with the idea of removing all the range restrictors and letting the New Law robots go.

The device for activating the range restrictors to shut down all the other robots, the blaster used to kill Grieg and wreck the SPR robots, and the device for simulating Grieg alive on the comm link--all of them were hidden inside the body of the Trojan robot.

And using range restrictors out of New Law robots won’t make people feel happy or comfortable, either.

Perhaps they removed the modified range restrictors from the ground-floor robots.

Seems to me we would have thought about range restrictors pretty quick anyway.

Bissal would remove the door wedge, and go on with the rest of the plot--destroying the robots to hide the restrictors, and then escaping to the warehouse, where he would hide until things cooled off--except the food left for him there was poisoned.
