Camels don't have night vision.
It is much harder to silence a Camel.
Camels can't negotiate rough terrain.
Camels need to be fed. Military logistics is tuned around delivering fuel, ammo and parts, not hay.
Camels get sick, scared, injured, run away, etc.
Camels spit.
- Tossrock 15y agoI think there are problems with many of your points. > Camels are much vulnerable from enemy fire than metal&plastic. Disagree. I'm quite sure if you shot one of these robots, it would stop working. > It is much harder to silence a Camel. Disagree; under normal circumstances a camel makes about as much noise as a soldier walking, whereas this thing makes much more noise via its gas generator. This can only be silenced by going all electric, which given the poor energy density of current battery technology, is not feasible. > Camels can't negotiate rough terrain. I am not a camel expert but I believe they can walk over terrain at least as rough as this robot. > Camels need to be fed. Military logistics is tuned around delivering fuel, ammo and parts, not hay. Military logistics is also tuned around delivering provisions, which are pretty similar to hay. Anyway, a cubic meter is a cubic meter. > Camels get sick, scared, injured, run away, etc. This is the strongest advantage over a camel: precise control. You can't program a camel. However, the other points are not really big wins for the robot.
