Bug Bots? Insect robots will take to the sky to spy.


Do you think it is a good idea for the US Air Force to create flying robots disguised as insects to spy on other countries?

  1. I think it is a good idea for the US Air Force to create flying robots disguised as insects to spy on other countries because the other countries don't know we are spying on them and they don't get mad because they might start a war or something.

  2. I think the idea of mini robots disguised as bugs is a very clever idea. It could prevent another 9/11 from happening again. Also, if the mini robot is disguised as a bee, our enemies might even be afraid of it!

  4. I think it is a very clever way to spy on terrorists and other harmful people. I agree with Olivia because it could keep another 9/11 from happening again. Now of course terrorists arent going to come to Alton, New Hampshire, but it is a good way to keep our enemies away from us.

  6. I think it is a wonderfull idea but if terrorists find out about these "bugs" disguised as bees well,terrorists might squish them. ;)

  7. I think it's sooooo awesome! I aslo agree with Olivia. We definetly do not want another horrible 9/11 from happening. That would be scarey! I think that if they made bugs that are scarey looking then the enemies would bee afraid!
    Also, wouldn't some of the bugs get squished by somebody?

  8. I think the air force shouldn't send "bugs" to other countrys becuase they could get squished and it can disturbing to some people,but its a smart idea!!!
