A wonderful little Proposal (http://video.designworldonline.com/bugbots.html) , eh?

I must have them for my world conquest!

These little buggers have been in the works for years. To the point I'm not sure if I should take the capabilities shown as "awesome progress" or as "get the basics working first you morons!"

But yeah. I really like the idea of these guys, long as they're not being used to hunt me or my side.

They sort of look like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsTKAtBBkfU&feature=player_embedded) only with wings like this (http://www.technologyreview.com/infotech/19068/?a=f). Now if they could just make a light enough camera to fit in it we'd be in business.

Don't worry - it's being worked on (http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20427295.100-cheap-naked-chips-snap-a-perfect-picture.html). :smallsmile:

Also they seem to be even smaller than that in fact. Details (http://robotics.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ronf/Ambulation/Roach.html) and video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4oufPv6RvI). I love this sort of stuff. :smallsmile:
