Brunswick’s police and fire departments are getting a new robot.
Monday, the Brunswick Town Council unanimously voted to accept the machine, with an estimated value of $78,000.
According to a memo from Police Chief Scott Stewart, the device, a 510 Packbot Fastac, has no weapons attached, weighs 33 pounds, can climb stairs and open doors, has a camera and 10 hours of battery life.
The device has a range of 1,100 yards and is controlled by a video game controller.
“First, I want to say no guns, no laser beams associated with this,” Town Manager John Eldridge told the council. “This is a robotic device that would be used by police and fire in situations in which it may not be safe to send a police officer or firefighter.”

Brunswick Councilors on Tuesday voted 8-1 to spend up to $70,000 to buy a 144-acres at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station from the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority for conservation and outdoor activities.
Councilor Chris Watkinson cast the lone dissenting vote, stating that the council did not do their “due diligence to solicit feedback from various stakeholders.”
“For myself as a councilor and as a representative of a certain amount of people in town, I can’t put my vote behind the idea that we’ve done everything that we should be doing,” Watkinson said.
On Friday, Feb. 6, a Supreme Court ruling lifted some restrictions on the way places of worship such as temples, churches, mosques and synagogues in California hold services during the coronavirus pandemic.
The ruling went into effect immediately and as of the following Sunday, many places of worship around the state opened their doors to 25% capacity including local churches at Lake Tahoe.
During California’s stay at home order, and for counties in the most restrictive purple tier, indoor services were prohibited.
The cases brought to the Supreme Court stated that California’s tier-based restrictions were a violation of the Constitution’s free exercise of religion.
