| The U.S. military needs tunneling robots, NASA needs | | | | propose it looked like a football and would have a gyro |
| tunneling robots, public works departments need | | | | inside to keep it up right. Be cutting mechanism would |
| tunneling robots, FEMA needs tunneling robots and so | | | | be in the front and there would be spikes that came |

| tunneling robot? | | | | Of course this is a very interesting subject as there is |
| It seems with all the robotics competitions going on that | | | | no right answer, as long as the tunneling robot works it |
| someone would have designed and built a good | | | | doesn't matter really what it looks like. It could be in the |
| tunneling robot by now. This subject recently came up | | | | shape of a snake it could be in the shape of one of |
| in an online think tank and one member started asking | | | | the original Chinese firecrackers with a cone front and |
| questions; "Size, how large of a hole is needed? How | | | | a cylinder side. As a matter-of-fact it doesn't really |
| long? What kind of maneuverability would be needed?" | | | | matter what looks like, as long as it works. Consider |
| What would be good tunneling robot look like? I | | | | this in 2006. |
