come to think of it, FIRST robots could be useful in Iraq, there are plenty of FIRST robots made up of enough 1/4" plate to armor a humvee...

But I doubt any FIRST robot could survive a combat situation there. And if they're doing simple stuff like light bulbs then why buy them for 2 million? A soldier doesn't make that much in his entire life.

Spam's "SAM" has been over there since the end of competition last year. sadly, with no air threat to speak of, SAM (Surface to Air Meat) has had little to do save charge his pneumatics.
