There is no practical need for a robot cheetah to kill people; a gun can and will do the job better.

Wait until they start mounting guns on them.  :shaking:

And integrate them with manhack/quadrotor technology :P

A twin tilt-rotor would probably be more efficient than a quad tilt-rotor design.

That's not what the guys building the quadrotor manhacks seem to think, and honestly from their performance I'm inclined to agree...

Swarms of quadrotors carrying robo-cheetas! Christ!

I was thinking the other day that you could have a quadrotor swarm carry a soldier, and then he could direct the little bastards all over the place like some sort of absurd Metal Gear boss, but this takes things to a whole new level!

A soldier carrying a quadrotor swarm.
And the quadrotors carry grenades, with a lethal radius of just 1 meter to keep 'em small and light.

Now picture the enemy bunker having a swarm of quadrotors flying in through machine gun ports, and clearing the whole thing in a way that nobody could hide or get out.

Grenades? Nah nah, just have 'em carry gas. That way they're reusable. They can just fly back and get refilled.

That would work until the bunker is populated by people with gas masks.

I would say to the comment above...

That a twin tilt-rotor would be less efficient. You have more moving parts, and thus a more complex control system to deal with. And you still have at least four main motors, so really... simpler is better. And the four-rotor design is definately simpler.

Put Wirenet in front of gun ports? Millions of $$$ for research and development made useless by good old steel wire lol. Or at least you'd have to use a couple to blast the net.

That is infinitely better than what I had intended. I was thinking about just hitting it with the crowbar until it goes critical and takes out a good chunk of the surrounding area.

Nah m8, I'm talking twin tilt-rotors like the V22 Osprey. The ones like Avatar has is probably just as bad as a quad. The point I was shooting at was that helicopters spend most of their energy staying in the air. Airplanes stay aloft by maintaining airspeed. Tilt-rotor airplanes have the best of both worlds (VTOL ability, faster/longer point-A to B travel).
