Scorpion EOD for The Big Jobs
Isreali police forces have recently used the Explosive Ordinance Disposal, EOD, robot Scorpion to dispose of a hidden bomb.
The Scorpion is from Autonomous Solutions, Inc of Utah. It is made from a modified Bobcat excavator with ASI's command and control brains.
Six Scorpions were delivered to Isreali police in 2006 and this is their first success on active duty.
The large size of the EOD robot makes it unique in the growing family of bomb disposal robots.
According to ASI:
The Scorpion's size, strength, and its ability to cut through steel introduces new capabilities which are changing the way the Israeli Police plan and execute their explosive ordnance disposal operations.

To be completely accurate in the above post, those robots did not come from "ASI." Those robots delivered to the Isreali police came from Remotec. ASI was a subcontractor of Remotec and ASI did do a significant amount of the work, but to claim them as the sole source is simply not correct.
Actually, if Remotec built them then they won't last long. With sub-par quality most of the robots in the field fail quite frequently. Remotec tauts their commitment to service and has a huge service department but when most fail in operation why even bother with one. Companies like Foster-Miller and iRobot making smaller and more durable robots that the customer wants you'll see Remotec go out of business by the end of 2007. They had a massive layoff this year because they don't have any business. Another layoff looms soon!
Hmmm... Someone sounds bitter, maybe a frustated competitor? Remotec is still open for business and still controls most of the domestic EOD market. Fact is if you want a first responder UGV and don't want to deal with the "Blue Screen of Death" you get with everyone else, Remotec is your only choice. Maybe not as sexy as the new comers to the market but they work very well and have good support. We have hundreds of hours on our's and yes some repairs but that is to be expected from anything abused as our's is on every mission. Our rep says they have new products this year, I'm eager to see them.
Remotec does build a good machine but a bit dated. They have rested on their reputation way too long. As far as new products, they promise that every year but you get the same warmed over machines they have always built.They change a little here and there but nothing really new or innovative. My suggestion, find something cheaper with up to date electronics.
