But what purpose does it serve? It eats corpses for fuel....but is that its only purpose? Modern battlefields are no longer littered jwith corpses like in the past...sooo...

 

[QUOTE]The purpose of the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR)

 

this will go so wrong if they build this.

 

This has ethical problems written all over it.

I assume that our military allow our enemy's during war time to retrieve their dead ,so they may have a proper burial.It'd be kinda wrong to not allow that right an instead a machine chows down the bodies.

Also do you realize how psychologically horrifying that would be,I mean you just watch your buddy get killed by a robot and than it starts eating him ,so it can re energize to kill you.

wtf...

 

So, I guess its a recon type robot. That is pretty creepy. Lol, I doubt it will stop at corpses. I bet the first victim is going to be a sleeping kitten.

 

A real Japanese GUNDAM would take out that maneater with no problem.

BTW: if you have $725 million you could build one!

Group buy?

 

Put me down for 1 please!

 

guys...I have an idea!

Put this on cars, and all of our problems will disappear.

Fix the energy crisis, fix the overpopulation problem, and fix jaywalking

Not to mention, we can televise the busiest streets and charge for it. Boom! save the economy.

Think Death Race, but with far less suck. It's win/win!
