Somehow This $10k Flame-Thrower Robot Dog Is Completely Legal in 48 States


Thermonator, the first "flamethrower-wielding robot dog," is completely legal in 48 US states.

It also includes a LIDAR sensor for mapping and obstacle avoidance, laser sighting, and first-person view (FPV) navigation through an onboard camera. The company lists possible applications of the new robot as "wildfire control and prevention," "agricultural management," "ecological conservation," "snow and ice removal," and "entertainment and SFX." Back in 2018, Elon Musk made the news for offering an official Boring Company flamethrower that reportedly sold 10,000 units in 48 hours.
