So how big is it? That picture give no sense of scale. Is it a cute little 4 inch long robot or is a few feet long and a few hundred pounds?

said that the VIPeR's small size
From the little antennas on the back of the thing, I would say it's quite small.
If I'm not mistaken, those look like the flexible "rubber duck" antennas that can be found on many wireless routers.
You can extrapolate relative size form thats.

I have an idea. They should set up an interface via the internet so that people could pay money and take control of one of these to go into palestine or Sadr City or the Afgan/pakistan border along with troops during missions. Kind of like an on line game where we get to kill islamofascists from the comfort of our homes. The money could then be used to support military families or some such worthy charity NOT run by the UN.

This is a very nice machine but in view of the massive amount of terrorist vermins to be killed I'd think MOABS or Nukes would do a much better job.
To: theFIRMbss
Yes, finally we can hunt deer without having to climb a tree in the cold dark night. We'll just send out the HuntBot and tell it not to return empty.
