An EOD Bot (Expl

osive Ordnance Disposal Robot) is a small portable robot, usually mounted on tracks or wheels, that is used for the safe disarming/disposal of explosives such as mines, Improvised Explosive Devices and other dangers that would threaten a soldier's life. They benefit from their small size, allowing them to access difficult locations, but often can find themselves slowed by difficult terrain. The EOD Bot in Battlefield 3 is clearly based on the TALON EOD Robot.

"A remotely controlled Explosive Ordinance Disposal robot allows the engineer to repair and damage vehicles like a normal repair tool, but can also arm and disarm explosives and MCOM stations in Rush. "
— Battlelog description
The EOD Bot is available in the multiplayer of Battlefield 3, and is unlocked for the Engineer kit after earning 11000 points with that kit. It occupies the Gadget 2 slot, shared with the Repair Tool and M15 Anti-tank Mine, and has to be deployed on flat ground, similar to the MAV. A special minimap icon shows the location of friendly EOD Bots, as well as spotted enemy EOD bots.

The primary roles of the EOD bot are to repair friendly vehicles, dispose of enemy explosives such as Anti-Tank Mines and Claymores, and to arm/disarm M-COM stations, as befitting the user's side. To do this, the EOD Bot is armed with a Repair tool, which has unlimited use and does not overheat.

The repair tool mounted on the EOD Bot can also be used to injure or kill opposing troops, which can be especially useful if trying to arm/disarm an objective. After the April 2012 server patch, the EOD Bot inflicts greatly increased damage against vehicles, but may not survive the vehicle's explosion.

The small size and speed of the EOD Bot makes it very useful at making dashes for objectives, as it can move through secluded areas quickly, but the speed of the Bot is negated slightly by the loud motor noise of the Bot, and the fact that it is difficult to control, constantly oversteering at slower speeds and understeering at higher speeds. It also has very little armour to protect itself - it can be destroyed by one shot from either a SMAW or an RPG-7V2 rocket, and takes significant damage from small arms. However, like all vehicles, it can regenerate it's health, but it cannot be disabled, merely being destroyed in the first place.

Currently, the EOD bot is able to survive long-distance drops.[1]
