Video Friday: RipSaw Now Unmanned, Run For Your Life

If you haven’t heard of RipSaw before, this thing is nuts. A sort of supercharged, all terrain tank, RipSaw’s 650hp engine can drive it from 0-50 in 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 80 (!) mph, over just about any terrain. And now, it doesn’t need us anymore, thanks to some new GPS guidance. The video below shows several different versions of RipSaw, including a piloted vehicle, a remote controlled vehicle, and the early testing stages of a completely autonomous version. PS- Cheezy audio totally not my fault.
Yours for approximately $200,000.
