No it's not another bomb robot,that's the sound of engineers from Virginia Military Institute counting the results of their latest robot project.
This 4-wheeled lawn robot circles your yard and kills ticks.
The robot attracts the ticks with CO2 and lets them leap grab onto a denim cloth dragging behind.
The ticks are dispatched with a dose of promethren.
The robot navigates around the perimeter of your property to collect the ticks before they get to you.
It has the advantage of delivering just a small amount of insecticide directly to the ticks instead of drowning the whole area in insecticide all year long.
Has anyone added this feature to a robot lawnmower yet?
