I'm proudly posting this, as my son is the lead fabricator on this project at Howe & Howe / Textron. This is the kid who preferred to spend countless hours out in my shop as a youth, rather than doing his schoolwork. Six years in the USN (subs) honed his discipline, and gave him a million dollar education that the university system could not offer him. "That's my boy!"

I wonder what the power requirements will be for charging a group of electric tanks. Seems like they’d need more than a towed diesel powered generator.

As long as decent men like you and your son, have the right and opportunity to exercise their passions and ingenuity, despite all the vile leftists, America will be all right.

The RCV is a wave of the future. Part of the Army’s Manned UnManned Teaming (MUM-T) effort. Soldier experiments are underway to inform requirements.

Wish they had included a troop standing next to it to give us a little scale on how big it is.

Is he at the Slidell or New Orleans location? I’m assuming Slidell, but you know what they say about when one does assume. 8>)

questions: battery life, recharge time, does it have to return to a charger unit or can charger brought to it?

What are we going to do with all of our old tankers? And, who fixes it when it throws a track?
