OK you Makers and Hackers, how about the smallest CPU device out there

[Terry McCarty - WA5NTI]

Alex -

I love your idea of a rabbit hunting / fox hunting mesh network swarm.  
Something like a flying network that once launched could locate, 
triangulate, and radio back to the ground the coordinates of the 
rabbit's / fox's location - maybe even have the swarm relocate to the 
target site and land, waiting for pickup and retrieval.  Great idea. :-)
