The Rokon was tested by the military at the RAVE II test course in
Auburn Hills, Michigan in the late 1960's. It was tested in a "shoot-out"
between a dozen or so other vehicles including a M-151, motorized
wheelbarrow, lawn tractors, mechanical mule and a real live army mule (the
four footed kind!).
