better than a drone... flame throwing robot dog

[MadInNc]

Great way to start the ol fire pit

You can now buy a flame-throwing robot dog for under $10,000
Thermonator, the first "flamethrower-wielding robot dog," is completely legal in 48 US states.


If you've been wondering when you'll be able to order the flame-throwing robot that Ohio-based Throwflame first announced last summer, that day has finally arrived. The Thermonator, what Throwflame bills as "the first-ever flamethrower-wielding robot dog" is now available for purchase. The price? $9,420.

Thermonator is a quadruped robot with an ARC flamethrower mounted to its back, fueled by gasoline or napalm. It features a one-hour battery, a 30-foot flame-throwing range, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for remote control through a smartphone.

It also includes a LIDAR sensor for mapping and obstacle avoidance, laser sighting, and first-person view (FPV) navigation through an onboard camera. The product appears to integrate a version of the Unitree Go2 robot quadruped that retails alone for $1,600 in its base configuration.

Hell of a lot better than a driveway rock.

Unsure if he's on this forum

I wish @FLEXjs had had one of these on patrol when his car was stolen. Even in Canada, surely posting plenty of signs that say, No trespassing and Warning: Guard Dog on Duty, Do Not Enter would protect him from any criminal or civil penalties.

It's a true "service dog"

Probably would be helpful for the Utah family, when they get tired of handing out boxes of donuts.

Can I just get the flame thrower and mount it to the front of my car? Looks like a good way of "correcting" certain roadway behaviors.
