They probably have these, we do, too. They are used in steel mills for
cleanup work near the furnaces. They usually have short-range radio
controls, but that could probably be fixed in short order.

Looks like they better also start wiring up Schwing concrete pumping
trucks. Just keep pumping till the trucks choke on concrete and they
will have a number of concrete pyramids with booms hung over them.

I'd hard wire them, no need to back up.

I still say to build these things in a 200 foot hole, that way when
they are toast they can just fill it in.

Ha!
