Me neither. You don't suppose they're a "black" company, you know, military and all that?

Actually today they are diving with a buddy in our pond.
Berwick is correct and they just purchased some land along the river to run these bad boys on.
They have built a single seat manned version for police departments. Their first two were shipped to North Las Vegas and are narrow enough to ram doors, make entry and climb stairs while protecting the officers with a mounted weapon.
A lot of the publicity for the twins is driving the Rip Saw at mud runs.
Four or five years ago, a contest was held by our military to negotiate a course by remote control. No one finished the course and the Howe's had washed their vehicle prior to the event. Moisture threw the navigating system out of wack. Still, two teams were chosen and received seed money.
They continue to improve it and one will be tested in October by the government in Aberdeen, Md.
