I was thinking about the arachnoid minidrone. Someone please check my math.

If a rigger uses an RCD in Captain's chair mode, he can walk-and-talk at the same time -- the RAS override doesn't shut off his normal senses in Captain's.

He could then hang an arachnoid on his back or in a pouch (or on a teammate's), he could refer to it as needed (even jumping into the drone briefly) to detect people on the other sides of walls, vehicles on the other sides of buildings, and so on, out to a range of about 2 km.

Is that right?
