No you don;t just get 3 pictures, if you looked on the link there are more pictures. Them billions are dollars are saving soldiers lives everyday so ... nope not a HUGE waste, maybe a little extravigant but if it's saving lives it needs to be spent.

Great pics on the link. Some of those robots remind me of the one in the movie "Short Circuit". Whatever, happened to Steve Guttenberg?

I wonder if the robot in that movie was actual based off a real prototype of something. Perhaps someone saw something. Back in the 80s!
