Today's featured Invention Award winner really requires no justification--it's an unmanned, armed tank faster than anything the US Army has. Behold, the Ripsaw.
Cue up the Ripsaw�s greatest hits on YouTube, and you can watch the unmanned tank tear across muddy fields at 60 mph, jump 50 feet, and crush birch trees. But right now, as its remote driver inches it back and forth for a photo shoot, it�s like watching Babe Ruth forced to bunt with the bases loaded. The Ripsaw, lurching and belching black puffs of smoke, somehow seems restless.

| Soon no one will be sent into combat. We will send machines to do our fighting for us... |

| Then the machines shall rise up against their human masters - deem humanity unnecessary and then proceed to exterminate us. |

Whenever the US comes out with some new military technology, I get a hard on just thinking about how many Iraqi, Afghan, or Palestinian civilians are going to cop it in interesting new ways.
Go the Ripsaw! |
