DTV Shredder: The Military turns a Segway into a Tank
Weighing 125 pounds and running of a Honda 4-stroke, 200cc, 15hp engine, the DTV Shredder could be compared to a Segway, only without the tank tracks. Compact, powerful, rugged and fast, this bad boy has a top speed of over 30mph.
The DTV Shredder was created by Created by Ben Gulak—the guy who made the beautiful-but-kind-of-ridiculous Uno bike, it was designed to better equip soldiers in dealing with crisis situations.
Just one small suggestion, why not add a couple mini turrets on the side of the DTV Shredder so it can really do some shredding?
Or add the BigDog – The Alpha male all terrain Robot to the mix and get the ultimate super-duo combination. You have to watch the .37 second mark to see just how amazing this BigDog really is.

Well, the Shredder looks cool in the video, but I wonder how effective it will be in real life situations.
It's great the way big dog is able to balance itself – better than some humans. Although big dog looks more like a four-legged arthropod than a dog.
I couldn’t believe the dog didn’t fall over….it almost looks like 4 human legs underneath that thing.
