Necro, but: "the location" is broadcast via GPS by the dogbot, "the location" is either "where the dog was EMP'd," or "where the dog was forcibly exploded." Either way they know it was the last broadcasted position.

Besides, explosions leave them with a lot less salvageable material, the actual main issue is shrapnel.
