Paracelse Posted December 25, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 25, 2012 When I was a sarge in the 13th batallion of Alpine troups we had mules to do that... they worked well and they were a lot cheaper. Not to mention the occasional kick in the butt of officers that makes us laugh more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted December 27, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I was watching this the other day. These used to be called Big Dog and Alpha Dog, I think. This new one is a lot better. It can follow voice commands and is a lot quieter. The old one sounded like a very old lawn mower with the blade chewing up gravel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imaginarynumber1 Posted December 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Big Dog was cooler. It looked like something out of Metal Gear Soild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
