Add acoustic sensors to triangulate enemy positions, coordinate with aerial surveillance, add ability for aerial drop to be deployed across battlefield, add control moment gyros to allow it traverse difficult terrain.
You could have them roll back to a base point for self-charging. To make them airborne you could embed the standard model in a quad-rotor "collar" and use the rolling mechanism for avionics and control. Really, you could base a whole micro-UAV/UGV system around some version of this concept.

- bkudria 16y agoOh this is some great brainstorming. All these components need care and maintenance as well, so instead of having specialized cleaners for every component, I propose a "kitchen sink" component. Yeah, that should definitely go in.
