Take for instance, tapping into the (low resolution) spydie eyes. That would take much more computational power than simple command and control of a drone. (We have yet to do that task, where as we have made machines that walk [very sorta]). | |

I mean really you don't even have to try to kill a spider but a fly? Those things are almost impossible to hit! | |

That's why I thought that hacking into the brain of the spider might be more feasible at present. | |
