Recon Scout Throwbot a Go for Domestic Police Raids

By Wesley Fenlon

If a Throwbot ever comes flying through your window, the SWAT team isn't far behind.

It’s no Roomba, but we owe the Recon Scout Throwbot a debt of gratitude for fearlessly leading our troops into volatile situations. The 8” long, 1.2 pound Throwbot resembles a dumbbell with its cylindrical body and rounded ends, and that simple design holds a very specific purpose. The Throwbot can take a fall from 30 feet and immediately roll into action without sustaining any damage from the impact.




"The Petitioner asserts, without establishing, that there is a market for these devices for public safety and anti-terrorism efforts," ARRL wrote. "Merely by suggesting that these devices may be potentially useful in this context does not establish that a permanent waiver for the devices will be in the public interest. Most importantly, it is not satisfactorily established why alternatives are inadequate."



The lucky law enforcement agencies that get ahold of a Throwbot have quite a device to look forward to. The Recon Scout beams live video to a command center 1000 feet away, and a smart tail design keeps the Throwbot’s center-mounted camera upright at all times. Plus, you can throw it through windows. How cool is that?
