R/C Video Friday: Ripsaw Gets A Gun
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 5 of December , 2008 at 1:21 am
You remember Ripsaw, don’t you? The unmanned, remote control tank that can go from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and reach 80 mph while driving over piles of rubble and lesser UGVs? Well, guess what… Now it’s got a big frikkin’ gun on it.
Ripsaw and its weaponry are independently remotely controllable from two different mobile base stations. In can carry an extra 2000 pounds of payload, too. It’s not armored, but it doesn’t look likely to be stopped by anything short of explosives (not like those are hard to come by, though). If it does get damaged, it’s designed to be cheap and easy to repair. While it’s unquestionably impressive, it remains to be seen whether it’s going to turn into anything field deployable.

This reminds me of Robot Wars that use to be on Television. Clearly you can see that little robots can become even bigger robots with even bigger capabilities that aren’t necessarily good for mankind! Great Bpot you have!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

An fascinating dialogue is worth comment. I feel that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo topic however generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
