I have found the Droid!
« on: April 24, 2008, 12:03:33 AM »
Lord Vader will be pleased.  I have finally found the droid. 

I just found out that I get to be one of the guys at work now that gets to operate the Swat Team robot.  They are flying some guys in from Northrop Grumman to train us on operating the overpriced R2 unit.  Actually it looks more like Johnny 5, but who cares. :mrgreen:  I get to play with the Swat Team with out having to lay in the mud and rain for hours and hours.

Here is the web site if you are interested: http://www.ms.northropgrumman.com/Remotec/

congrats Jim.  now if you could only get a real R2 unit to go out there and do the dirty work, your job would be so much easier

That's not very impressive!  The website says "Keeping danger at a distance."  You are supposed to be staring danger in the face aren't you?  Whites of the eyes and all that...








Still, that is REALLY COOL!

Nope its a separate unit, but I get paged out when they do and go on all their calls.  I really have no desire to be on TNT.  I already did all that gung ho crap in the military.
