Bot Shutdown Panel
From BioShock Wiki
A Bot Shutdown Panel is a machine that will, for a $20 fee, stop the flying, shooting Security Bots that the player may encounter after tripping the security system (generally by being spotted by an unhacked Security Camera). The presence of a Bot Shutdown Panel is a clue that the player will soon encounter a camera. It is unknown why would Andrew Ryan allow the installation of such unorthodox devices, but it can be assumed it was to make a small profit - or simply for gameplay. (Note: Bot Shutdown Panel cannot be hacked). However, there is a possibility that the panel exists for scenarios in which Security Bots turn on their owners or malfunction. Thus, providing a safe nonviolent way to quell the chaos.
