I was doing some research on military robotics when my buddy pointed me to Ibistek, a very gung-ho site that makes armored vehicles and, interesting, devices to pull those selfsame vehicles apart if necessary. The Rat Claw attaches to a truck and then you pry open the doors of another vehicle — or a house — and pull. I just love the name — it’s going to be my new XBL handle. It’s no CIRT, but it’s cool.
