I am all for it aswell.
Most who know me on here know me as that robotics engineering guy.
Now, I haven't had much of a chance to work with snake robots, but from what I can tell of them they are a definite advancement in allowing robots to do what humans simply cannot.

This of course (for those who are worried) will not put people out of a job. This robot is designed to get into areas, the human arm simply could never get... hence, it wouldnt have been a human job to begin with.

Another advantage to the snake system is rescue purposes. Humans would have to dig through tonnes of rubble to find one person, with the risk that their digging would kill the person, as they don't know exactly where they are to begin with.

A snake arm can use a camera to locate the exact position of a person before digging commences, and show where the rubble is, so the rescue team can make an informed decision on where to dig, rather than just starting to dig.
