I have a very simple test for these things when it comes to military stuff - would this or that piece of tech have proved an obstacle to the NLF (you know... that organisation people insist on calling the "Viet Cong)?

And the answer for this robot is... only if the objective was to provide them with lots of fancy scrap metal.
