Sand Flea Jumping Robot

Sand Flea is an 11-lb robot with one trick up its sleeve: Normally it drives like an RC car, but when it needs to it can jump 30 feet into the air. An onboard stabilization system keeps it oriented during flight to improve the view from the video uplink and to control landings. Current development of Sand Flea is funded by the The US Army's Rapid Equipping Force. For more information visit www.BostonDynamics.com.

Yeah but can this thing still jump like that after put in some weight like a bomb or other package ??

[DrProctorr]

Put a bomb on it and get it to go somewhere and wait. Put a microphone on it, wait. Put a package to be delivered on it. Dude this shit is awesome.

We are going to see these kind of devices on our future wars. I bet mass-produced price will be cheap.
