This video illustrates exactly why robots are such a priority for the military, and why they’re so valuable in Iraq. From a certain point of view, the more robots get blown up by IEDs, the better they’re doing at their job of keeping troops safe from roadside bombs. I have to wonder, though, how attached the bomb disposal units get to the bots that are occasionally destroyed on their behalf… The guys in the video think it’s pretty funny, and you can’t really blame them since they’re the ones who may have gotten injured or killed otherwise, but I can’t help shedding a tear for the little robot that got killed in the line of duty.
