The EODs in the Navy uses a real nice RC for handling explosives. We had two onboard the ship but photography is not allowed due to the nature of the work. We used to be able to take pictures of everything including F/A 18 fighter jets taking off and landing on the flight deck but that has changed.

By the way, I had a very, very reliable source tell me that the motors/ESCs were made by Castle Creations. Each of the ROV(remotely Operated Vehicle) cost about $50K.

This would be a great charity cause - I wonder how to get on board with this program, though?
