    Ridicul0usly broad spectrum of applications for military use, from explosives to sensors. Teach these things to scatter and swarm, give them a payload and the ability update mission on the fly remotely, and this could completely change, police work, art, warfare, etc. Set up little cameras and have them cruise the room at an art or music show, push the video to wall screens. Drop a few cluster bombs of these into the Afghan mountains with cameras and tiny grenades, they deploy and hunt…
