Bio:
Originally designed for the Mars mission, the GenTech Skitterbug found a niche as a small reconnaissance vehicle prized for its rugged durability, terrain adaptability, and powerful hazard sensors. It was the hazard sensors in particular that made the Skitterbug a gave the Skitterbug a vital role in the early initial assessments of both the GenNu and Omaha disasters. The removable Backpack Headlight may be used as an emergency source of portable power, light or heat.
