Okay, I know where this is heading, so I'll get my good graces in early:

"And I for one welcome our new flying robot overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted internet writer, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.”

It looks like a slightly more expensive version of one of those toy helicopters.

Seriously though, if these hummingbird robot engineers collaborate the rat-brain robot engineers, they could really come up with something great. Or horrifying.

Something that fly very compactly, with a quasi-biological brain that can learn and adapt? I've seen Battlestar Galactica, I know how this turns out.

And really, isn't having a bunch of Tricia Helfer clones walking around trying to have sex with everything they see one of the scariest images you can come up with in your head? Am I alone on this, people?
