These include; robot RiSE. It is a six legged robot that can climb any rough surface such as a brick wall, tree or even a small cliff side. RiSE was designed to hang off the sides of building and trees. Its purpose being, to listen in on conversations of the enemy.(discovery) Another odd, but very useful robot is an unmanned ATV called riptide. Riptide is an amphibious vehicle that can be both manned and unmanned. It is a brother to the worlds fastest track vehicle named the ripsaw. (discovery)The ripsaw was created by the Howe brothers who had a TV show called Howe and Howe tech, where they made military robots. one of their creations was the riptide. Riptide is exactly like the ripsaw, but can do something that the ripsaw can’t… swim. The riptide can drive from the land onto water and maintain speed. Another robot is called the sand flea.(discovery) The sand flea was meant for recon in extreme terrain such as urban war zones. This is where rocks, buildings and vehicles get in the way. the sand flea can drive over rocks and branches, but thats not the best part. It can jump over 30 feet in the
