Critter Crunch in 1991, at the moment when "Agent Orange" beat Bill Lewellyn's critter to win the event. Among the oldest robotic combat competitions extant in the United States are the "Critter Crunch" (founded about 1987) in Denver and "Robot Battles" (founded in 1991) based in the southeastern U.S. [1] Both events are run by members of the "Denver Mad Scientists Society".
The Type-X is designed to deploy at a weight below the 12-ton mark for rapid deployment into the combat theater, either by parachute or by heavy lift helicopter, providing vital fire support to airborne troops while maintaining a logistic footprint compatible with the logistics of a parachute-deployed force.

The armed robotic vehicle (ARV) variant of the MULE. The XM1219 armed robotic vehicle was an unmanned ground combat vehicle based on the MULE Platform. The ARV-A-L MULE Vehicle (XM1219) would feature integrated anti-tank and anti-personnel and reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) systems remotely operated by network linked soldiers.
The Black Knight is a prototype unmanned ground combat vehicle (UGCV) designed by BAE Systems.
