During the Second World War the Germans used several types of small robot kamikaze tanks to blow up enemy fortifications.

In Hawaii, the U.S. Army is testing advanced versions of similar robot tanks during the Tiger Balm Command Post Exercise.  But instead of being used as bombs they’re being used for more practical things like heavy machine gun carriers.  By the way, the program is officially called PACMAN-1.

And any garage mechanic/R-C hobbyist could build one in their own home!  Is that why Australia declared R-C toys to be weapons of terror in 2014?
