    "The spying robot, about two meters long and covered in army camouflage, mimics the movements and appearance of a real snake, slithering around through caves, tunnels, cracks and buildings, sending images and sound back to a soldier controlling the device through a laptop. The snake has a single camera on front end."

    It could go in the Science forum. But my take on the story wasn't so much as a scientific advance but more of just a really cool idea. That seems a little more like "Lounge" material

    That is unreal. I feel the same sense of revulsion watching that thing as I would from a normal snake
