'Crusher' Military Robot to be Unveiled

Carnegie Mellon plans to roll out April 28 a new killer military robot ominously named "CRUSHER." The robot, based on the "Spinner" robotic vehicle, will likely have six giant tires and be able to drive over anything, including other cars, over ditches and through the roughest terrain. The robot is designed to carry just about any kind of weapons and drive by itself or by remote control into enemy territory. I want one. (Here comes the VIDEO (of the old-and-busted "Spinner," not the new hotness "Crusher.") UPDATE: Here's the announcement PRESS RELEASE (PDF).
