Throwable Robots to Join Battle in Afghanistan

Throwable Robots to Join Battle in Afghanistan : Discovery News: "At dusk, a platoon of soldiers in Afghanistan approach a building. It's surrounded by a low wall, and looks empty, but the wooden front gate is shut. A soldier pulls a small robot out of his backpack that shaped something like a dumbell and throws it over the wall. The little robot rights itself and starts rolling around the grounds, transmitting pictures via it's camera. An infrared scan shows nobody inside, but there's a bomb behind the gate. The platoon calls up its bomb disposal team."
