Sand Flea Jumping Robot

Sand Flea is an 11-lb robot with one trick up its sleeve: Normally it drives like an RC car, but when it needs to it can jump 30 feet into the air. An onboard stabilization system keeps it oriented during flight to improve the view from the video uplink and to control landings. Current development of Sand Flea is funded by the The US Army's Rapid Equipping Force. For more information visit www.BostonDynamics.com.

Um imagine this thing jumping into a building through a window to gather intel of the building. Or you can load the flea with something that would divert enemies attention and launch it into the room full of bad guys and plan the infiltration through the front door at the same time. At earthquake struck areas, the flea has the capability to jump to hard to reach places and search for survivors or deliver small packs of food. I think there is potential.
