>Who says drones have to be bigger than a breadbox?
I said that to keep things simple, and to avoid "MUNCHKIN!" cries. Brodie's
main drones these days are the size of birds and scorpions. TINY! (and built
to stay that way *grin*)

Good movie. It gave me MANY evil ideas for SR.

I have something similar. It looks like a fuzzy tarantula, climbs over
EVERYTHING, and detects bugs (electronic that is)

In Jew's campaign world (which is VERY GROSS), he owns full rights for
construction of the following drones:
Frisbee: like a microskimmer (pre RBB campaign)
Wasp: about 3-4 inches tall, with obligatory stinger, etc. Can fly.
Scorpion: same deal. 2-3 inches long, can sting multiple times, and has
a space to hold a microchip, and pincers for climbing.
Roller: rolls around in access ducts. Surveillance.
and one other: don't remember
>Think about it.
How much are you willing to PAY for one, though?
