Japanese Military Invents Tumbling, Flying Sphere

thebchuckster writes "A Japanese developer has released a cool, new sphere that is billed as being able to go where humans can't.

While reaching speeds of up to 37 miles per hour, the sphere deftly moves through the air without much effort. It doesn't take much to get it up in the air and moving, and it will be adept at going into tight areas."
