One smart gamer could easily command 3 or 4 smart robots, while micro-managing a bit here and there. If they take 2 or 3 of those 'squads' (maybe with different bot mixes) and add a commander it could be very effective. Why game(r)s again? Well, the computer controlled units in modern strategy games are about as inteligent and aware as current robots. It is about time the military-research starts taking the gaming business seriously. There's so much to learn about human-machine interfaces, semi-AI, control scheme's, routines/tech for controlling different unit types in some sort of cohesive manner, pathfinding, sensor interfaces, HUD/view things etc etc. Ps: I would like to suggest better immersion for the operators: sound and proper wide/large-screen camera may make the unit more effective by improving awareness.
