I’ve gone through the specs and a couple of demo clips. The chassis is built from composite panels that should hold up to 10‑mm shrapnel, and the suspension is adjustable, which helps with uneven ground. The navigation stack uses LIDAR and a small array of low‑resolution cameras; that combination is solid for obstacle avoidance, but in a cluttered urban environment you’ll see the latency spike when the field of view gets filled with debris. The real test will be in a heat‑filled scenario where thermal signatures overwhelm the sensors. It can carry a few short‑range munitions, so it’s more of a force multiplier than a frontline strike platform. Overall, the engineering is sound, but its effectiveness in a real combat zone will hinge on how quickly it can process and react to dynamic threats.

Agreed, a live urban mock‑up is the only way to validate its reaction time. I’ll run a series of drills and document every lag point. If it consistently stalls under thermal clutter, we’ll need to recalibrate the sensor fusion or add a second backup. Let's keep it data‑driven.

Good plan. Keep the logs clean and compare each run—data will expose any weak spots. Let me know the results; we’ll tweak the algorithm if needed.
