This is actually a pretty good rescue robot idea. For a mass casualty event, responders might spend a lot of time dragging people on skids back to a central point of care. I also like the temperature range, being hardy is important!

I loved Kilmer in Real Genuis- my lab used to always put an EEPROM by the robot right before a demo as a funny good luck ritual! And I would assure the students that I loved popcorn...

Who knew Val Kilmer starred in a scifi movie with a robot on Mars? No one knows… because Red Planet was a big budget flop. But the AMEE robot anticipated Perseverance and Ingenuity by 10 years! Check out the movie and marsupial robots:
