Either called the -- or the rapid equipping force they're part of the US army and they're based at -- about -- Belvoir in Virginia.
And it is is -- tenth anniversary so there's -- -- top brass there to celebrate and recognize their accomplishments.
I'd really these are giant conspiracy like real life like -- -- The if you're war paint his solution you don't have the time to -- a luxury -- Four you know years or months four industry turnaround a solution for it.
So with these guys Tuesday listen very closely to the soldier literally on the front line in the second comeback from a patrol they can call Monday to look you know this didn't work or we just -- -- to this new threat what can we do about it.
And these guys -- on the fly literally tied -- within minutes and hours come up with a technological solution super cool stuff.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- At -- in -- yeah you know I love that stuff I love this antley isn't that he brought it up I think.
It's I can jump about thirty feet in the air and aside from being cool that -- can do that it's a robot.
It's important in it was a response because the soldiers were saying you.
-- something we can use that could -- perched on a compound wall and look inside the compound an enemy compound that is.
Without us having to physically go in ourselves sort it out and this little guy can -- jump up on the law.
Have a look and feed back information you video real time about what's going on -- the number of people there number of combatants what they're up to and it can jump back down and returned to its unit so.
And the standoff that is beats you it's not what the soldiers to stand exactly outside the walls of the compound and send a month.
And he -- -- -- himself.

You know -- this was -- to watch between charging station they'll wandering around with their -- -- there.
And yeah it's funny that you say that because we have a package that people can check out later today.
That'll go up where did you get to -- Sunnis -- -- divers were out in Afghanistan at the time I had made an expeditionary lab and I talked to them real time.
About an 81 of the things that they do make on command our iPods chargers because.
-- sometimes it's a little luxuries that make a difference as you well know having been in a lot of gators yourself that.
This wireless -- chargers for the talents of this is another robot it's very popular soldiers these days and Marines.
By the time is he's -- with explosive materials and hazardous material so it's one of those types of robots that I'm sure viewers have heard about before.
The problem with a -- was that the batteries do tend to run low batteries are a ways and they married a problem in theater.
And soldiers were coming back with complaint saying look you know what -- vehicle I'm trying to be -- the batteries were under fire.
It's very difficult I'm having to dismount the vehicle dismount the armored vehicle.
Are having to pull up and stop I have to get out of the armored vehicle to -- Casey's batteries so.
His clinic because I designed songs go out there that the soldiers -- this is just not good enough.
So on the slide in the divers really great -- solve this problem.
-- daddy love let's just make a little house that the talent lives -- that it resides in an historian.
I'll make that wireless rechargeable stations every time it's in its little -- -- It's automatically recharging and it's it's just been a really Smart seemingly simple and may be self evident but it was just solution that was out there so that's a grim budget back that up it's a great example of you know on the fly it -- coming up the really Smart solution.
