   Looks like they are taking their cues from the Japanese who had that urban robotized corpse-remover posted on here a few weeks ago.

   Perhaps people should get nervous when these 2 powers start scheming along the same lines again…

   I forgot to add one thing… If you look at the picture, you’ll note how smooth, mossy and free from debris the forest floor is. I’ve been to the Black Forest and the Ardennes and I don’t remember them from being that different from typical North American forests, i.e. full of tangles of vines/underbrush and varied rocks, fallen treelimbs, and big piles of leaves. Their robo-bug friendly forest in the pictures seems pretty optimistic.

   Now all it needs is large glowing red eyes.

   Except for the errant campfire, those robots don’t look like they have the water capacity to make much of a difference (compared to a water bomber that drops 52000 liters at one time).

   I don’t think it uses water; it probably works similarly to a standard fire extinguisher.

   Now that I think of it…that beetle looks like it’s farting in the woods.

   “If a robot beetle farts in the woods with no one around does it smell?”
