I think I saw a remote controlled little ground thing made to drive under tanks and blow up.

Something like this?

That reminds me of the little crawling bombs in Supreme Commander. Can't remember what they're called...

ETA: They're called: Cybran T2 Mobile Bomb a.k.a. Fire Beetle

When I was a child I thought the RC-XD was the most ridiculous contraption I had ever heard of. Tons of shit turned out to become real I thought was stupid

As a local moron, it looks like something people like myself, or, myself, would think would be cool to try and catch.

It can boot if it's low quality.

Isn't there a manga with this, I think it is called "Kindergarten Wars" in the latest chapters
