British Army will soon be fiddling with a remote controlled gadget which will be actually used to sneak in enemy formations before attacking. The Tumbleweed spy drone developed by researchers at Manchester University will do the trick to stream live images and videos to the commander. The gadget has six angled propellers (sort of legs?) which helps itself to walk, fly, hover, bounce and even roll.

The 3 feet Tumbleweed can fit in most backpacks and can fly at a top speed of 30mph. It is currently being tested at Salisbury Plain and when it is fully implemented, can save lives of many British soldiers (and of course money!).

PS: Such type of gadget in a FPS game will make it more exciting. Isn’t it game devs?
