A Robot In Every Police Car

A toy industry consultant has teamed up with Sandia National Labs and military contractor Applied Technology Associates to design a portable law enforcement robot that can be had for less than $1000.
They envision a ground-running robot in the trunk of every cop car in America.



So far they are looking for investors and a suitable go-anywhere chassis. They think they may go ahead with development on the MGA Entertainment Tarantula. "Why waste your time with an R/C that CLAIMS to go anywhere, when you can have one that goes EVERYWHERE?"

Toy industry could be key to low-cost robots for cops - 2005-08-01
