i was thinking that if i was in the woods, heard that buzzing sound and that thing crested a hill, i'd probably shoot it. guess i've watched too many low budget b sci-fi movies.  guess i can retire my sherpas and get me few of those things to carry my equipment into the bush. incredible video. |
why wouldn't that work in a SHTF sit? obviously it's not going to work in every type of scenario, but i can envision quite a few where it would. |
Draws too much fire from trigger-happy Okies  . I think it - as usual - depends on the type and degree of SHTF. Since it's pretty much a "normal" combustion engine, there'd be the usual concerns of fuel supply, fuel/hydraulic lines to protect in rough terrain, there's a considerable amount of circuitry as well as temperature controls for those components.... I think if it was strategically protected/armored even as well as an ATV, it would be pretty useful in hauling and construction, possibly even SAR kind of stuff. But it seems like it would be too loud for hunting/patrolling, too sophisticated for ditch-digging, too frail for SkyNet work. I don't know. Just MHO but I think it's a cool concept that's not ready for prime time just yet. |

Probably not, but the beta version most certainly is! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXJZVZFRFJc

eh, keith referenced skynet in his post yesterday. |
to many parts and it's to complicated. Murphy would have a field day with it. |
