R-Gator gets Xbox/Adobe Air controls, may be equipped with REDOWL/machine gun


Wired's Danger Room finds a post from the Flash Blog showing a new Xbox controller and Adobe Air interface for the R-Gator unmanned vehicle from iRobot and John Deere. The post mentions that the R-Gator could be equipped with the REDOWL sniper detection system and return fire with a mounted M-50 machine gun.

This is the first news we've heard about the R-Gator in quite a while, and is encouraging. iRobot's web site only lists R-Gator as a research project rather than a shipping product.
