The ‘mule-bot’ walks again

Not exactly how useful this will turn out to be, but since it is another small step along the path to Skynet surely it is a good thing, eh?
One ‘practical’ issue I have is that by putting all your gear on it, it makes a nice fat target for the bad guys. Take out the mule and you take out a lot of the equipment the team depends on. Of course, if the gear is too heavy for humans to manage, then I guess there is no practical alternative, so in principle, I suppose, it could advance the war fighting capability.
Lookin’ good but way too noisy. Something needs to be done about the gear trains.
