That's outstanding!!! Kudos to that young engineer!!! I recently saw an interesting documentary on the Navy EOD training on the Military channel. It's worth watching.

What is the cost effectiveness of this "equipment"?
Are the surveillance cameras also included in the $335 toy?
If I have understood correctly, then this whole equipment blows up with each IED it blows up.

Understand where your going with this.
I don't think that the Camera is included in that 335 price tag. I too use RC Clog/ Rock Crawer Trucks. But I'll use a extra Servo to add a Dump Truck body to it or for a "Trailer" to be pulled behind the RC Truck.
Where your at working will drive which still to use. Just like a Bot that can be used. I like RC becuase I can Pack them in on my back and a TALLON is just to heavy in the Mtns.
Good Job for that ENG, make your own RC IEDD Trucks. SO that $$$ Goes to your house not someone else's.
Just my .02
I was trying to look at it in our Indian Army context as you have rightly guessed.
It is quite a novel idea nonetheless.
I've seen alot of investment into technology solutions for IEDs; any thoughts on cognitive situational awareness for the Marine/Soldier?
Rubble
Unattended Vehicles
Scanty street or tracks
Bushes next to the roads
Walls that make a hollow noise (when searching; they can be hidden rooms/ holes behind the wall used as storage or used to hide)
Hollows in the trees
Extra friendly locals wanting to help and guide
A fracas
Etc etc
@ Ray,
All good points.....so how would you teach situational awareness? I'm thinking about using an end user modifiable simulation.
