The one in the water...now THAT would be an expensive lure for crocs & gators. Can you imagine Samuel L. Jackson doing "Robotic Snakes on A Plane"?! hehehe!!

Once they get all the bugs out and develop a lightweight battery system for it, I'd imagine these are good to go. I'm sure they could coat one side of the snake in tiny solar cells, and then it could get on top of a building or a rock and "sun" itself like a real snake. Very neat.

The IDF was the first to jump on these things, and are training their soldiers to use them now. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1244371047887&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull This technology was pretty much designed for spying.

Except that theirs was not made of segments. And it looked more like a snake, than popoids. UNK engineering students did it first. Except that theirs was not made of segments.

Now I can think of all kinds of spying/freaking out the bad guy applications!
