71 countries are contaminated with mines since WW11.
0.5 million mines are estimated to be laid every year.
60 million hidden killers, a guesstimate, are laid world- wide.
Angola, Afghanistan, Cambodia & Iraq, compete for the "most mined" title.
1100 years will be needed to clear and destroy those already in place.
30 victims are killed or maimed every day.
800 victims are killed every month.
1200 victims are maimed every month.
75% of victims are children.
60% of victims are civilians.
50% of victims die within minutes of the blast.
50% of victims make it to hospital.
33% of victims lose at least one limb.
5% of those who make it to hospital, die painfully, within 24 hours.
12 hours is the average time it takes to get to a hospital.
land mines cost from $5.00.
you can be maimed for life for $5.00
EVERY 20 MINUTES A LANDMINE ACTUATES AND CLAIMS A VICTIM.

About Me:
Esses estranhos que nos amamos
e nos amam
olhamos para eles e são sempre
adolescentes, assustados e sós
sem nenhum sentido pratico
sem grande noção da ameaça ou da renuncia
que sobre a luz incide
descuidados e intensos no seu exagero
de temporalidade pura
Um dia acordamos tristes da sua tristeza
pois o fortuito signifcado dos campos
explica por outras palavras
aquilo que tornava os olhos incomparaveis
Mas a impressão maior e a alegria
de uma maneira que nem se consegue
e por isso ténue, misteriosa:
talvez seja assim todo o amor

I think they shoul be available the next year. We are also working in some RCIEDs countermeasures becouse we are still in the middle of a conflict and th terrorist groups are getting weaker and at the same time they turn to mines and IEDs to get some rest from the armys ofensive.
The 40 kg robot will be called the "ricaurte" in honor to a hero of our independence war who blew himself up in a gun powder storage position in order to avoid the spanish troops to capture it.
this robot is designed for infantry missions, it will survive mines of up to 300 g of c4 under the flail and it will be very cheap to repair and manufacture.
Let me know if you are working in more demining machines, we may exchange some ideas.
The best of luck.
