Why can't it do both, Flamelord?

Well, it could, but I made the assumption that Ironwood isn't coordinating his robots over a public communications network. And I'm not sure the kind of AI they have can be subverted by an outside vector wirelessly, unless it just involves switching everyone's IFF tags so the White Fang look like allies and Vale like hostiles. Which would, again, require access to their computer systems, and I don't believe that military communications are handled by those towers. Just public ones.
