Gulp. Attach an injection needle to it, and you have a frightening assassination weapon.

Cool new Recon thingy.

These snake robots are incredible, especially the Israeli one, just wonder if that runs on batteries or on a cable as it seems that moving this thing will suck a lot of power. I really like the one on wheels but it seems a bit big eventhough it might be used for pipeline inspection like stated in the interview, I think if it'd be a bit smaller, like the Israeli snake, it could be better suited to rescue earthquake victims than this caterpillar robot of that Japanese professor.
