Tiny Helicopter?

Posted by 8Alex on February 4, 2013 at 7:41pm in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Ok so you want to make sure that in war, the land you are about to step foot on is clear and safe right? Well the UK have figured out a way to just do that. They have made a small helicopter that weighs half an ounce and can fit into the palm of a man's hand. It carries a very tiny camera as you can imagine to scope out the surrounding area before stepping foot on to it. I think this is an amazing idea and hopefully can lower the deaths of soldiers, even if its not a lot as long as it helps would work wonders!

Thoughts?

I think this is a great idea, and will probably save lives.

i don't see how this would help much because it's so small and someone could catch it and it could get destroyed so easily

That sounds very very cool! I think that it is also a very good idea.

This sounds sweet!! But you have to think if their are people on this island if this camera, being so small, would even be able to see them. What if these people saw this camera they would probably just grab it and break it and if it runs off batteries the army could think its just dead batteries and still go in and get shot. But i hope they do get it to work because it would be a lot safer to go in buildings.

I think that this is amazing! This is a great new technology to have and I'm sure it will help ensure that safety of our soldiers.

This is a really cool idea, i think cameras would be a good idea in war so you dont have to be there but you can still see it

i dont think that will work because if you dont know what your looking for how will you know that it is safe to go. Well there is a way but they would have to have an EOD person with them at all times.

It is a great use of technology. Eventually they will expand on ideas like this and give more security to soldiers.

It is amazing the technology that is out there today. This will help keep soldiers alive. It is also scary though how much goood technology is out there because you never know who is watching you if it ends up in the wrong hands.
