This vehicle is very versatile and can perform many functions if the add-on systems are procured for it. Some of the functions that can be performed by the Y2K-UDV-2000 are as follows:

SUB-SYSTEM Y2K-UDV-C: The Circular Rotating Cutter -- This sub-system will clear the tall vegetation in and outside of your perimeter so that you will have a clear field of fire.

SUB-SYSTEM Y2K-UDV-D (not shown): The Chemical Dispensing System -- This sub-system has many uses.
