Remove all the flashing LEDs, replace the headlight with an
infra-red one and that thing would become hard to see coming. Keep the
laser though for intimidation value.

On a less alarming note it would probably be pretty good at
clearing minefields - can we ship a few thousand of them to Ukraine ?

It could be useful for creating firebreaks which is very hazardous
jbex and sometimes the best/only way to contain a wildfire.

It is probably more expensive than a trained Gambian Pouched Rat, which
are, I am told extremely effective, without setting off the mines.

People are more expensive, or not, depending upon your point of view and
which people.

If it is for real, I suspect that the people who invented it were not
thinking about creating firebreaks. The name Therminator suggests
otherwise.

The Crocodile, a modified Churchill tank performed a similar service and
was probably more reliable. If it would be any use, a radio controlled
tracked version is probably already in use to create firebreaks.
