Among animals you don't want sucking sucking your blood, ticks are near the top of the list. These hemophilic arachnids don't just help themselves to your vital fluids, they are also host to nearly a dozen human pathogens including Lyme disease, which afflicted more than 24,000 people in 2011 alone, and the Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever that claimed the life of a six year old North Carolina girl earlier this year. Lucky for us, ticks are pretty stupid. They'll hop aboard anything that so much as looks and smells like a suitable host?even if it's coated in pesticide. It's this overzealous nature that Virginia Military Institute engineers hope to exploit with their ingenious new tick-hunting rover.
