Foster-Miller 2009 Robot Pinup Calendar
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 16 of December , 2008 at 6:41 am
A santa hat. A reindeer. An unmanned robot armed with a big machine gun. Yep, that’s what the holidays are all about, around here at least, although when it comes to unmanned armed robots this is about the best we can hope for. Foster-Miller (makers of all kinds of serious military and security bots) has put together this 2009 calendar featuring their hunky Talon robots and their slightly-less-hunky operators. I wish I could tell you where to get one, but you probably have to be a major government contractor or a legitimate journalist (sigh) before you can expect one in the mail.

HI – - I’m a retired/disabled auto worker and a former US Marine.
I write free lance articles and essays, and I am working on a novel. The main character is a Marine EOD Staff Sergeant. I would like to to use a robot and wonder, can I use this name Talon Robot the same as others use Winchester, Colt, etc. Take care, Dave Metzler. PS “A Geezer is a grizzled old man in bib overalls that can walk a barbed wire fence barefooted with a pair of wildcats under each arm while searching for a nest of rattle snakes to pester!” :)
