I didn't know the Hamburglar was enlisted in the Canadian Army

It is credited as a Rheinmetall Defense promotional videos of a product made by Rheinmetall Canada...Not sure how the previous comments about Canadian Forces figured into this discussion

The camera system should be on a gimbal, otherwise appears to be a solid platform. I like how it could potentially do autonomous supply runs or carry away battlefield casualties. Of course another interesting add-on would be a remotely controlled heavy gun/tow missile/40mm grenade launcher package.

Was anyone else singing the Banana Splitz theme? Might just be my age.

Very good if you can move on your own ... so, repairs the motion system using sensors, maybe with a watch that is used by soldiers. If one of the soldiers dies, the other soldiers are able to change it to follow the surviving soldiers.

Robo Argocat ? Trouble with all these things is what happens when someone hacks them? Same for planes etc. Watch the cheers turn to panic as your squadron of drones turns round and bombs you instead of the enemy.

I didn't hear anything about the engine. Argo's are loud. Not something you would want to use where sound discipline is paramount. It would be interesting if it were electric. But i didn't see any solar panels for recharge when you were away from a base.

Basically it's just a horse. A metallic horse that carries luggage, injured men and follows the troops around.

#1 for an RPG shot. Then you can run all the way back to base, that thing can't really go *anywhere* a quad can't go, it's so dumb to be that predictable just so you can go 'light'.

You keyboard soldier know it all's kill me! Lol

[FairladyS]

No, no, no, think of the noise for a start so there goes any attempt at surprise. And what happens when it gets stuck? Lousy idea.

They're not Canadian soldiers, it's a fictional enactment as the equipment is all wrong. The uniforms are not what Canadian soldiers wear, and the weapons are close, but no cigar.
