It's not just me, is it? Bloody scientists and military R&D personnel just never watch the movies. I guarantee that this little dude will be off watching Steve Guttenburg's girlfriend in the bath before thewiiek is out!

Israeli Firm Develops Armed Combat Robot

No 5

JERUSALEM — An Israeli defense firm on Thursday unveiled a portable robot billed as being capable of entering most combat zones alone and engaging enemies with an onboard armory that includes a machine-pistol and grenades.

The 25-pound, 9-inch-tall VIPeR, roughly the size of a small television, was invented as part of Israel's efforts to developwiiaponry that could reduce the risks to its forces from hand-to-hand fighting against Palestinian or Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas.

The manufacturer, Elbit Systems Ltd., said that the VIPeR's small size — it can be carried on a soldier's back — and dual treads enable it to move "undeterred by stairs, rubble, dark alleys, caves or narrow tunnels."


Actually... I'm pretty sure it won Robot Wars a couple of years ago...

Ho hum...

That is kinda cool - have you seen those new forms of machine gun with no moving parts where each bullet is electronically fired and therefore fires megafast? they are SO cool...

He he he he.

Being found naked by the police in the streets of El Salvador?  That's worth a million bucks!

Being found naked apart from bondage gear by the police in the streets of El Salvador?  That's worth a coupla million bucks!

Not being able to identify yourself to the police because of the rubber ball in your mouth!  That's priceless!

I wonder if he had diplomatic immunity from STDs...
