Recon Scout Throwable Robot

You can run, but you definitely can’t hide – not when you have the Recon Scout robot hot on your trail. This might look like a technologically advanced dumbbell at first glance, but it actually does something totally different from building up your biceps. The Recon Scout robot moves around on electric motors that are quieter than a human whisper, and can be controlled by a handheld controller as long as it remains within a 100 foot radius. The remote control comes with an integrated display so that the human controller will know where to position the Recon Scout robot as it searches for someone hiding in a prison or correctional facility. It is durable enough not to be turned off by a hard impact, so anyone throwing the Recon Scout against the floor or wall will be in for a big surprise, as it was specially built to survive a 30 foot drop onto concrete.
