      Still could see some use though, in that if they’re not very combat capable anyway, driving them around potentially makes one expend ammo firing at them, and any mines they might hit would be detonated without human casualty.

        Frankly, it would be more useful to just use them as short-range artillery than that. Single-shot RC tanks sound like they’d be a complete waste.
