- jcims 3y agoAt least they named it appropriately.
- carimura 3y agomy exact first thought. black mirror to the soundtrack of a photo app.
- TX81Z 3y agoCame to post this comment and you beat me to it. I think it deserves an overdub with some very intense industrial techno or the Terminator theme.
- civilitty 3y agoBlack Mirror episode Metalhead playing on a TV in the background or picture-in-picture would be most fitting, I think.
- Vecr 3y agoHow about "The Rebel Path (Cello Version)" originally for Cyberpunk 2077 but unused?
- sogen 3y agoMy suggestion: Lux Aeterna from Requiem for a Dream, fast forward it about 30s then press play. The violins kick in just when the logo appears.
- type0 3y agoBelieve by the Chemical Brothers is most appropriate
- dj_mc_merlin 3y agoThe main benefit I can think of for the military is the ability to approach zones that have anti drone equipment via the ground. Noise isn't really a concern since grenade drones fly too high and kamikaze drones rely on speed and unpredictability. Not sure how much better approach on wheels would be than just flying low, either. The tradeoff is presumably higher cost and less reliability. Additionally, less ability to carry mass than if it just flew. I can't imagine a way this would be too useful but obviously a lack of imagination isn't proof..
- xarope 3y agoThe obvious weakness are the wheels. Conventional infantry are already trained to hit armored vehicles in the wheels/drivetrain to remove their mobility. Hitting a wheel for this robot accomplishes the same for driving and flying (since the rotors are part of the wheels)
- type0 3y agoThis thing would probably be used as loitering munition in swarms and since it's small it might be difficult to hit in urban combat situations.
- photochemsyn 3y agoRay Bradbury's Mechanical Hound has grown wings? Although I don't think militaries would really rely on wheeled transportation much for drones, though perhaps reduced battery drain in the wheeled on-ground mode is a selling point for longevity in the field. It certainly has many other uses though.
- conradev 3y agoBoth civilians and the military already use drones a good amount. Is there anything specific to the military here besides just a better drone?
