Dragon Runner

Dragon Runner is a military robot built for urban combat. At 9 pounds (4 kg) it is light enough to be carried in a backpack. The robot has four wheels, is 15 inches (38 cm) long, less than a foot wide, and 5 inches (13 cm) in height. The robot is very rugged, and can be thrown over fences, up or down stairwells, from a moving vehicle at 45 miles per hour (70 km/h), or even from a third-story window. It does not matter how it lands because neither side is the right side up. However, it was not designed to drive up or down stairs on its own. Instead, Dragon Runner was designed so that it could be carried up the stairway.

Use
Dragon Runner is designed for areas that are too dangerous for or inaccessible by human soldiers, particularly urban environments. Dragon Runner's front-mounted, tilting camera provides a video feed that is relayed back to its master controller by a wireless modem. It provides soldiers with a view around corners and other obstructions that prevent them from seeing hidden enemies. It can also see using the optical systems of enemy UAVs.

Dragon Runner can be operated in three different modes: Modifications include flippers that enable it to climb stairs and treads that can all be snapped on quickly and easily in the field by a soldier with no tools.
 * Drive Mode: The robot drives around, transmitting images back to the operator.
 * Sentry Mode: Dragon Runner remains stationary, using a microphone and sensors that can detect motion up to 30 feet (9.1 m) away. If it detects something, it will alert the operator.
 * Watch Mode: The robot remains motionless and relays images back to the operator.

There is also a modified variant of the Dragon Runner labeled Dragon Runner C. It is a more compact version of the Dragon Runner, capable of fitting into a soldier's dump pouch. The compact variant of the Dragon Runner is lighter in weight, quieter and quicker. When equipped with flippers, it can slingshot itself at the correct speed to scale over walls.
