From a speech the CEO gave this year, they've done a lot of work for the military (Packbot, etc) and even attempts at mining and other industries over the years. Their website is definitely split down the middle, one side is consumer tech (ala Roomba/Scooba) and the other is military. With the recent (as in the current administration's) decision to force/limit all DARPA research to that having an associated provable military application, is it any wonder that all great new tech has a military product associated with it?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[penum6ra]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roomba's sniper-detecting cousin, the REDOWL PackBot]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/04/roombas-sniper-detecting-cousin-the-redowl-packbot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/04/roombas-sniper-detecting-cousin-the-redowl-packbot/</guid><description><![CDATA[If it detects the sniper location via noise, what's to keep from using an RF based system to have multiple guns fire at the same time as the sniper from different locations?  I'm thinking of a radio-controlled trigger.  The other guns could fire blanks for all it matters so long as all go off at once.  Or better yet, they fire slightly before and confuse the device...<br><br>Basically, I think this idea will be easily defeated.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roomba's sniper-detecting cousin, the REDOWL PackBot]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/04/roombas-sniper-detecting-cousin-the-redowl-packbot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/04/roombas-sniper-detecting-cousin-the-redowl-packbot/</guid><description><![CDATA[The logistics involved in setting up and executing your radio-controlled triggering scenario are substantial, and are unlikely to be encountered in  a combat zone such as Iraq or Afghanistan.
