Who says drones have to be bigger than a breadbox?

Does anyone remember the movie Runaway with Tom Selek (sp) and Gene
Simmons?

Well remember the little robots that were in the movie, the ones with the
spider legs?

OK, something similar is in the CP 2020 Chromebook II. These little
devils are drones though.

SOOOO, always willing to lobotomize another companies product for the
good of the gaming community, I got an idea. Jow about making a whole
new category for drones for riggers ( the mini's) these are drones
designed to be very small (less than a foot in length) With the use of
cyberware and nanotech and stuff I think it could fit. The options for
a rigger would be great. SPIES, Mini Assassins (tm). I think about the
smallest you could go would be about 6 inches. This would include the
rigger gear for remote. And a small set of controlled devices.

Think about it.

This could even fall into the area of vehicle construction. Although
with a slightly SMALLER tool set (just kidding). And maybe a new skill
like mini (B/R).

Any comments.

P.S.: In defense I want to state right now that they do mention that
the nanotechs used to implant cyberware can actually map an entire
micro. (microporocessor) into the actual nerve cells ( something to
this effect in Shadowtech). And that today we are about to reach the 1
million transistors/1 cm^2 density of VLSI Technology. ULSI is
emerging and is expected to leave that milestone in the dust. GO
