Re: Military robots straight from the hobby store!
Interesting stuff. While we were rushing to catch our flight home from Atlanta this year, we saw a gigantic group of military personnel awaiting a flight. Being the curious high-schoolers that we all are, we stopped to ask them where they were headed off to as they, amusingly enough, simultaneously stopped us to ask why on earth we were wearing safety-green shorts announcing "I Like Robots". We began chatting with a group of the men and found out that, not only were they headed to Iraq, a number of them also build, operate, and maintain/repair the robots used in seeking out explosives.
I wish that we could have had more time to talk to them, I'm sure they had more stories than they had time to share with us!
