Oh, man!

Question for any RC enthusiasts:

Could you imagine rolling up to some field day with a ScanEagle?

Another thought:

I wonder what the $$$ would be for repairs!

In an old Analog magazine I remember a story about wheeled robots on the moon that needed some human guidance.

The moon base hired Earth kids to drive these robots, since they couldn't possibly keep personal track of every robot. Kids would pull them back if they got into traffic jams, etc. Things like pizza delivery robots. It worked even 3 light seconds away.

I imagine that there are thousands of kids that would operate these flying cameras if they were paid for finding the bad guys.

Sounds like a new way to recruit for ROTC.
