Hey guys and gals,
I came across this article on MSNBC today. It reminded me of Project Light Saber where off road light donations helped troops see better while traveling at night. The program I am presenting to you is called Trucks to Troops.
Basically, some guys here in the states assembled a Traxxis Stampede RC truck, and outfitted it with a camera and infra red capability. The trucks are being used to detect bombs hidden beneath vehicles. The first truck saved six soldiers as it set off a trip wire detonating an estimated 500 lbs of explosives.
When not saving lives, the RC trucks provide much needed entertainment during down time.
If you are interested in helping out, you can donate by visiting: Truckstotroops.com.
