I think they're gonna have to make it a lot smaller before it is going to be very practical. I don't know about you, but there is like zero chance of me going into a burning anything with that gigantic rig on my back.

Pretty cool proof of concept, though. Sounds like it runs on a weedeater engine to generate power and pump the hydraulics.

Prototypes are always messy.

It'll get better.
