Huge pile of flying bots (including helo and frisbee of death varieties as
well as predators, etc), also further down some neat autonomous ground systems
for recce:

US EOD uses the Talon and us Engineers get to play with the Engineer Talon and
the Marcbot.

and the Marcbot

Robots intended for use in combat are quite likely to be more like the former
than the latter in the future, since the Marcbot is dirt cheap as compared to
the Talon, and hence somewhat disposable.
