Can you believe these little things can fly? They are the size of a quarter and are amazing. Ilan Kroo and his colleagues at Stanford hope to one day use them for Mars exploration or atmospheric research.

Stanford’s funding came from DARPA, but their goal for the Mesicopter leaned more toward environmental surveillance than tactical. Swarms of the cheap bots could be used for collecting atmospheric data, or exploring Mars as well as other uses. Pretty amazing stuff.
