Same company sells the flame thrower for $700, and it's mounted on top of a robot that's available for $1500. They just plugged the trigger of the flamethrower into the auxiliary port that the dog comes equipped with.

This thing is entirely a marketing ploy to draw attention fo their line of products (flame throwers).
