RedOwl?

What kind of name is that?

The fine folks at iRobot (makers of Roomba) apparently figured out the real money's in defense contracting. So as reported a little while back, they've figured out a way to find snipers using a system attached to the Packbot.

Apparently, they've upgraded the capabilities since the original announcement as it seems a bit "bulked up" since the designs in the earlier articles. But, hey, it's helping our men and women in uniform, so no complaints from me this time.

(I mean, it's not like they could attach a firearm to it, right?)

Oh, sure, fine...

...make them all cute and cuddly. (Also make note of Mr. Spoon! and the vacuuming robot that can use elevators...) At least they have a sense of humor.
