the Supergadgets - an Overview
Through numerous sensing modalities e.g. fun buttons and (literally) hand-wavy motion, one can use the Personal Operation Datalink (POD) to remotely control a Remotely Operated Aid for Mine Evacuation and Recovery (ROAMER) on the field, taking your pick from up to three ROAMERs at a time. The ROAMER is able to move around while feeding back images via the SPECIAL perched on top a rotating turret, allowing for front and back views from the point of view of the ROAMER. In addition, the ROAMER is equipped with a gripper to latch onto objects and drag them around the field. All of these motions are controlled wirelessly from the POD.
