Getting one remote control rat to blow up a mine is easy.  Getting a
bunch
of remote control rats to blow up a bunch of mines one after another
could
be entirely different.	Rats are smart and probably will not be

after the first one or two went in and blew-up...  Does anyone enough
about
rat psychology to see if this would be a problem or not?
