The iRobot 110 FirstLook is the toughest, most maneuverable reconnaissance robot made. The five-pound robot is light enough to be thrown into action and sturdy enough to survive a downpour and a 16-foot fall onto concrete. Its tanklike treads allow it to roll smoothly over even the roughest terrain, and four ruggedized cameras provide operators with a 360-degree view. The robot also has two flipper arms, which it can use to hoist itself up steps and over obstacles, or right itself if it lands upside down.
