Looks more like the battlefiel turd if you ask me.

 

Of course the real question is:

Can it efficiently strangle terrorists?

 

 

If I were to design a robot to sneak up the enemy, my first thought would not necessarily be to disguise it as the animal most likely to get it's head blown off 200 milliseconds after someone thought he might have seen a snake. People with guns are far more likely to open fire at at a snake than at a genuine robot.

If you want to know how I would go about it (and my job involves designing robots), take a look a tweenbots - google it, or try www.tweenbots.com.

A toy robot with a big smile on it's face is not likely to get shot at in a hurry.
