Oh hell. I need to get cable or something.

You miss all the awesome stuff.

So about the engine, I suggest a sterling engine. Put a thermos type of construction around the combustion chamber, cycle the exhaust through a vortex tube, exhaust the cold over the outside and recycle the hot to aid combustion.

It would be maintenance free and silent. It could burn anything that catches fire. This eliminates the need for a fuel supply line, yeilding deep range within enemy territory.

Quick, dirty, and cheap. I like it

This is an excellent concept. You have really put alot of forward thinking into this and covering most of the bases. Be a good canidate for BAE! But why get used if you can make yourself.

I am glad I am the first one to mention this. I have been thinking it since your OP.

If you are pretty set with this concept being able to haul soldiers, it must have some windows. What will happen if the camera's, eyes, or sensors become disabled? Whether through enemy fire, concusive blasts or malfunctions of other sorts, the crew must maintain a means of operating and fighting in the vehicle manually or without the aid of the cameras.

This vehicle, maybe on a smaller scale, maybe ranger or mule size with a heavy hitting crew serve weapon would make an awesome unmanned scout.

Keep up the good work bro, you def. have a good mind for this kinda stuff!
