Its not the absolute coolest thing I've ever heard about, but it's certainly interesting and relevant to Shadowrun in a "we're moving in that direction" sort of way, so I thought I'd share.

Wow, that's like exactly the description of an SR drone. Cool. Bit expensive though..

The coolest drone I've seen so far is a prototype of the Dragon Runner. The final design will seemingly be different, having no up or down (it's a very small drone for soldier to throw inside a building ; with that design it doesn't matter on which side it lands). But I4m hijacking the thread since the Dragon Runner is for the USMC, not the USAF.
