They also made some packaging standard that makes them a pain in the ass to open
Itās even more of a pain when you use 4-500 2032s a week
I designed a 3d printed tool for my company to use
It was a great and simple design, they of course modified it to make it worse and claimed it was for safetyā¦ while in writing directing users to push and twist the blades directing towards their other hand

In a military budget scale of things, those robo-dogs are seriously cheap. Kinda suprised their not just strapping anti tank and anti personnel mines to them and sending them on a one way run.

I guess the main hurdle is battery lifeā¦
If itās only got a couple hours of run time, that limits practically in the field
Head of places using them to replace routine foot patrols, that wouldnāt be a run time issueā¦ mains power available and they can auto charge on a cycle

they have been doing it for years for underwater mines, send a small sub with a charge to trigger the mines. Ive seen it done with old WW2 ordonnances.
There are liquid fueled robots running on gasoline, ethanol, and other flex fuels.

this peaks my interest. I want a robot dog that runs on biodiesel. Something is just makes me fuzzy inside thinking of a angry robot dog chugging away on vegetable oil.

robot dogā¦ specifically. The source of the biofuel is irrelevant to me.

They keep shit tighter than they used too ā¦ I had to call them and authenticate just to place an order
But its all worth it, TIās dev board are the best ive used ā¦ and their software package is pretty decent too, not quite as packed as MCās, but a bit simpler to use
