Crooks Don’t Stand a Chance Against the SWAT Bot

With so much crazy going around these days , its a hairy time to be in law enforcement . But with this door - breach , fastball - stop , cable car - tow robo - armored combat vehicle in front of them , SWAT units will be unstoppable .

Built by Howe and Howe Technologies — the team behind Discovery Channel ’s “ Howe and Howe Tech : Black Ops Brothers , ” the Ripsaw tank from GI Joe 2 , a boniface of robotic vindication organization — the RS1 - RBS1 SWAT Robot was design in coordination with the Massachusetts State Police . It ’s based on the company ’s RS1 platform , a remote control all - terrain tread vehicle , customise to the needs of law enforcement . As such , it comprise a collapsible ballistic trajectory shield far big than the hand - held ballistic shields SWAT teams typically rely on for tribute during raids . When extended , the SWAT bot stands 80 inches high , 72 column inch long , 97 inches all-encompassing , and weighs nearly 2300 pounds . Its 25HP diesel locomotive engine allow it to campaign up to 1270 pounds of dust on asphalt , 1040 pounds on concrete and with the Dragon Tail gondola pierce / extraction tool , the RBS1 can implant a towage chain into a fomite and attract it out of the way with an integrated 5000 quid winch . And the hardened steel nozzle point is pretty much the last matter you ’d desire to see break away through your barricaded front threshold .

The RBS1 starts at $ 30,000 plus another $ 65,000 for the RS1 Base . There ’s no word yet on when the Howe comrade will get around to building a properTachikoma , though .
