Thanks, I love RPV's and the like. Reminds me of a short story I wrote in High school about spy flies and the robotic spiders that hunted them.

Naw, this pre-dates runaway and these were 1/1 scale flies and spiders. Besides a 6-8 leg robot makes a really stable gun platform. :)

I just got a Electronic fly swatter. It looks like a tennis racket but has metal screens. When you fit the fly it zaps it to death. It's alot of fun. But I keep getting yelled at because I pat the dogs head with it (its not turned on when I do it) but the wife thinks I'm going to zap the dog. :twisted:
