Seriously, though, this is really cool, and it's an obvious next step in the evolution of the soldier.

I don't know that we'll ever be able to replace a having "boots on the ground", but tools like these are going to be able for us to avoid putting our guys in as much danger. I read something a while back about a prototype surveilance robot that rolls up into a ball the size of a grenade so a soldier can throw it into a window, then it uncoils and can manuver through a building sending back video feeds - including night vision.
