Backyard to Battlefield: About Ripsaw

 

More on Military Robots

 
We follow Geoff and Mike Howe as they build their NASCAR inspired Ripsaw frame, see the amazing remote control setup that makes it a snap to control, and the proprietary track design which the Howes created that is part of the secret to the Ripsaw's invincibility.

The brothers don't hold anything back - they are outspoken, funny, profane, and incredibly good at what they do.

The show follows the brothers and their small crew as they race to get their Ripsaw prototype ready for a big demonstration of the Ripsaw's capabilities for the Army – a critical juncture in getting it approved for the battlefield.
