(     ) its for legs, this robot can walk (     ) (     ) on rocks and sand (     ) find and disarm mines.

He (     ) the local people (     ) mines―one (     ) one―(     ) simple tools. First they had to locate the mine. Then they dug (     ) it very carefully (     ) a knife and cleared dirt (     ) the top. When they could see the mine, they removed the fuse (     ) their fingers or blew it up (     ) a detonator. (     ) seen how dangerous this work was, Hirose thought there must be a way (     ) do it (     ) his robots.

Hirose explained (     ) the Afghan people how Titan IX could (     ) them (     ) mines. (     ) his surprise, they did not think that this robot would work (     ) Afghanistan. There were a couple (     ) problems. First (     ) all, it was too expensive. Second, it was difficult (     ) fix when it broke. Third, and most important, the Afghans were afraid (     ) it would (     ) (     ) their demining jobs.
