We already know about iRobot's "packbot," but now there's a new spy bot about to go into action. Meet the new Recon Scout Robot, and this bot isn't just your average spy bot because it comes with some very cool and new features. Unlike the iRobot's "packbot" this bot has magnetic wheels, and this enables it to climb up vertical metal surfaces such as ship and boat hulls. This spy bot is specifically designed for spying on pirates when they have already taken over and hijacked ships. It has a video camera built in so you can view live video feed on the ship and take a look at the type of hostage situation. All of these features sound pretty cool to me and you can check out the bot in the video below. Thanks for reading and feel free to comment below!
