<font size=3>WOW! What an R/C vehicle. It has only cost $4M
so far. Think I'll order a couple of them for my hangar...<br><br>
There are a number of other micro-bots that have been and are being
developed -- some are like insects, others like Helis and planes, as the
article said. As I understand it, some of these things are already
in use, such as around Area 51 in Nevada, and who knows where else around
the world. Ain't technology wonderful? Anyone notice the
pilot's 2.5 GHz Tx in that video?<br><br>

great! DARPA is always working on things; right now, they are
interested in getting rid of, (or at least downgrading) that silly .223
caliber in the infantry's hands, and getting them some more power.<br>
In line with miniaturization, a few years ago, I saw where the Germans
had developed a helicopter with the rotor diameter of a dime, and it also
contained a real-time camera. Only complaint was the flight time
was limited to about 10 minutes. We live in an age of
miracles!<br>
