–Washington Post - Technology News
Much has been made of the fact that Dallas police used a robot to kill the gunman who fatally shot five officers last week. A lot of breathless speculation has gone into exactly what type of vehicle was used to carry the bomb to Micah Johnson's position, in what was widely reported as the first time that tactic was used on U.S. soil. Now, Dallas police have released additional details about the technology it used to end the standoff. On Saturday, authorities reported using a Remotec model F-5 to deliver a one-pound payload of C-4 and detonation cord to the target. In a news conference on Monday, Dallas Police Chief David Brown clarified that officials used a Remotec Andros Mark V-A1.
