I do not know alot about these bombots,but what I could find out came from one of the partners
on this project, as my company manufactured the springs for this project.If anyone has a little more information about these that they could share without breeching any security I would appreciate it.

i wondered when you guys would catch up!!, want more precision? email me backand I’ll send pics of some of my hardware, also you missed the point on the loading bay, why not put an eject mech in it and drop off some C-4 with a remote triger on it, pop the bombs BEFORE they pop YOU!! sounds like you need an old bot builder like me to help out. please, give me a chance, I’m ex-mil (US Army) and the less body bags we send home the better, they are my friends too,

The Bombot sounds like a great opportunity to bring technology to the battlefield. As in past conflicts the US soldier is creative and innovative. The Bombot and its roll will evolve as our troops work with it. Despite any shortcomings it needs to go out and work so that it can evolve to meet the challenges. Bombot: $5,000 Iraq Expedition: $Billions Soldiers coming home alive and well: PRICELESS!!!

seems pretty cool. defiantly worth the investment.

Forget about having someone remotely control it from the internet, program the buggers to drive themselves! They can do it much faster that way using software recognition functions and multiple cameras and sensors, a remote operator could never see or react like a properly programed drone. Nor would they work like a hive to map the area around the hummer/transport convoy. If you think the military is going to pay you to log in to xbox live and command a bot in Afganistan for an hour your on the wrong path. Last thing we need is for the military to recruit thousands of joystick jockys to secure the highways and byways of backwater jerkoffistan. To keep the military lean they need to automate it and record the data for later review. Humans would mess it up.

All great ideas…problem is if you have ever personally encountered an IED; the explosive blast is a threat EVEN to the operator of these RC vehicles. did you see the picture posted for the “BomBot” and the guy holding the remote control? Well IED will make all those disappear depending on the amount of explosives used in the device. Frequency jammers…might be more effective to explode the devices.

these are not “little rc trucks”. The proper term is Traxxas E-maxx. These truck are amazingly durable and will work wonders for the Army.

Actually we are not the first to come accross this idea. Early last year I was in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I was working as a contractor to the US Army for REF (Rapid Equipping Force). This is a small division that is responsible for engineering solutions, and introducing new technology to the battle field. One day a couple of gentlemen came in with these trucks. They introduced themselves as EOD (US, Canadian, and one other of our coalition forces Ukrainian — I think). They were really excited about these trucks. One of the vehicles the Canadians brought forth was even capable of firing a 308 catridge powered water cannon.
At the time this was still very experimental technology, and it was passed off as such (boys with toys). The REF was focused more on body armor antennas, FOB camera systems, personnel born IED full body X-Ray scanners (for which was my purpose in life) and other projects of the time. This did stick with me however; and I began testing/toyig with the idea more upon my return back to home last November. I have attained a lot of knowledge about these RC’s since then. Does anyone know who is now leading this project from the US side? I would like to get more involved as there is a lot of very serious potential with this technology.
My hat comes off to those who have continued to push this type of project forward since the end of 2005. Anything to assist in saving lives is a really good thing!!!

In Response to Mr? Smith’s comments regarding the air conditioned comfort of “us” geeks. If the shade of a plywood building in Iraq constitutes air conditioned comfort, then I would have to agree with your comment.
