Saw a link to this story on Blue's News:

Imagine being on a SWAT team charged with disarming violent crooks in a meth lab, and knowing that every year, more than 50,000 law enforcement officers are assaulted.
It might be comforting to begin your raid by sending in an Eye Ball R1, a remote-controlled, spherical camera about the size of a baseball that can give its users a 360-degree look at the device's surroundings. (

flash bombs are old tech, nothing new there (real ones, not that silly kid stuff). Usually they aren't round tough, more flat, that you slide in, the gaurds look and say "WTF" while looking right at it, then FLASH!!!! Simple chemistry really

Although they're kids ones, it was still cool to see "Wha'ts next, real life flash bombs?" and then see someone post a pic of a product with the actual words "flash bomb" on the box :)
Flash Bangs have been around for ever though. They also stun people with the deliberately loud bang they make.
I can't see how those scouting orbs give you a 360 view just from looking at the pic there. Can they spin or something?
Yes its about time something cool was invented :)
