> not sure if you've seen a bomb disposal bot but they're often quite large, like riding mower large, and are pretty slow, and usually tethered instead of wireless. So not really a good crossover.
So you mean it could be improved and made cheaper by existing technology?

It's big because bombs can be big and it needs lifting capacity. It also works in a variety of environments like water, fire, etc, sometimes they're hitting them with or using fire hoses from them. Tether is for several reasons including not running out of power or not losing connection while you're, you know, diffusing a bomb.
