Very cool, if legit...build 'em small & build a lot of them, I say!
BTW, anyone know what might be done about lunar dust adhesion for future rovers there? The MERs are encountering an entirely different sort of dust problem right nowof course, but based on the later Apollo EVAs it sure looks like static charge buildup from motion/friction might cause dust to accumulate in strategically disadvantageous locations...
