If it could be programed to swing a detector and dig a target we could just lay back and watch. But then again that would take the fun out of our hobby. From past pics i've seen, I believe Mike could outdig it though. Weird looking thing, If it came towards me in the woods I'd have to run or shoot. I'd think that the aliens were here.

I'm sure that Boston Development would me upset to hear my evaluation but the device is not ready for a compat mission. It's fairly complicated in that it has to have feedback sensors on it's "feet and legs". It has to have a fairly sophisticated guidance system to be able to traverse the terrain that was shown. It is also using proximatey sensor so it won't run into trees etc. The video said it could carry a payload of 340 lbs. If I were in the military I wouldn't to purchase that thing just yet.

That is pretty cool! The future!

I can out dig it any day though!
