 | Robot Repairs in 4 Hours or Less! |

What do you get when the US Army has over 1500 robots deployed in Iraq
and Afghanistan, and over 3000 expected to be going into service by the
end of the year? You get an Army in-theater robot repair facility that guarantees four hour
repairs! They've been averaging around
50 robot repairs a week and if
they can't fix your combat robot in four hours or less, you get a new
replacement! When the robot isn't fixable it's recycled. Usable parts
are scavenged for use in other robot repairs.
