    Pfft. If I survive when lost in foreign countries by killing and eating the natives, is it too much to expect my robot companion to do so to? The future of war is delicious.

    We have seen this before. It's called Death Probe...and only Steve Austin can stop it.

    this tech was mentioned in wired war. fun fact: they seemed entirely open to the idea of these types of machines consuming the dead soliders for power.

    I don't know about anyone/everyone else, but when something can live directly off plants and meat, i consider it closer to being alive than dead.

    I want to know about the use of "SICK" LADAR. I mean if you are going to bother to put LADAR on the EATR, why not use HEALTHY LADAR?

    Or is this some metal wrangler they hired from Pimp my Ride sayin' "look at that LADAR, man, it's totally SICK."

    @AmphetamineCrown: SICK is a german company that builds it. They used a shit ton of em during the DARPA Grand Challenge. LADAR is the military version of LIDAR, which is just Laser Detection and Ranging.

    @Log1c:

    Really, a company named SICK? My German is non-existent, so I'll presume this is a translational oddity?


    I'd love to meet their PR person.


    But now I've moved on. I'm presently wondering if the input for "combustibles" should be relabeled "comestibles."

    EATR? Seems like DARPA's been grabbing ideas off of PIXAR's production chopping block. I for one am not really worried about any of this, and my homemade EMP generator is purely coincidental.

    While I have a picture of my lovely assistant wearing a Velo-stat hat, sadly I don't have any in velo-stat underwear, which, sorry John, is vastly better than your tinfoil underbritches.
