The area is not assumed clean.	The robot sets off 1
mine and blows up.  All of a sudden we know for a fact
that this cave actually has inhabitants.  As opposed
to the hundreds of holes in the ground which are not
inhabited.  

It's a safe and fast way to determine which caves are
worth further attention, not a replacement for
infantrymen.

Of course, in SGII drone counters aren't a replacement
for infantry either.
