The Rip Saw Unmanned Ground Vehicle In Action...Watch The Video!
First introduced in 2005, the Rip Saw, an awesome all terrain vehicle is about to hit the market to the masses with a $200,000 price tag. The custom-built Unmanned Ground Vehicle can hit 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, has 80 mph top speed, and can maneuver over any surface or terrain a tank can.
The privately funded Rip Saw was first built by the Howe brothers for the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. Based on the original manned prototype, the newest version of the Rip Saw is now remote controlled. Though the Rip Saw didn’t win, its video certainly turned some heads, enough to find funding to build more than one.Check out the video of the original manned Rip Saw in action, watch as it drives through a barn as if it were a cardboard box….
