Yeah that is pretty awesome and I can see from my own experience where it would be a great idea. I gotta say though all that f***ing noise is not something you'd want trailing you around the bush.

There is one place I could see that thing exceling though. If you have ground troops cut off in a dangerous fight using something like this to resupply and support them would be pretty damn sweet. You can't always resupply with aircraft or other vehicles so another option such as this may fil a pretty important role.

it would be a great idea if it wasn't so noisy, nothing like trying to move around some enemy but they can hear your robot dog from a mile away

Oh the irony of the soldier saying they're not carrying so much stuff so they can move faster yet are all leisurely strolling along waiting for that slow pos to catch up. Just use a bloody donkey or camel already and if it gets shot you can eat it.
