Hanool's Hanuri-RT rescue bot touts go-go-gadget tracks

Probably best known for its Roomba-esque robovac, Hanool is branching out a bit and introducing the Hanuri-RT rescue robot in Korea. The incredibly large machine sports a simple, yet menacing design and a sophisticated track system that that can expand in a multitude of directions in order to reach places that humans could have difficulty accessing. Unfortunately, details are scant when it comes to explaining the control method and determining just how capable this off-roading beast really is, but click on through and view a few more pictures of this bad boy in action for the time being.

For those who are really interested, you can build something like this for yourself by buying parts form www.parallax.com where ANYONE can program with the relatively easy to use PBASIC language. Make sure you check out the BOE-bot, Somobot, and Quadcrawler for ideas...

I also like Lynxmotion.com for robot parts/kits. It's where i started learning about robots, and it has been great. RobotMarketplace.com is also good. :)
