Could double as a DeWalt router maybe.  Sorry, I couldn't help thinking that
with a set of tools sitting right next to me.
The yellow oval at the near end seems to make it lose symmetry.

| suggestions (using the acronym IRIDIA). I don't like the ending I've come up
| with too much.

| Anyway, this little drone has cost me several nights from (11PM-2:AM) and
| all the free moments during the day after that. I just finished it this
| afternoon. It is "dirty" from travelling through space, and can have an
| optional force-field (which would keep it clean from space debris, but waste
| too much power). It propells itself with the thrusters you can see as
| yellow-orange bands. There are thrusters on the back and front of the rear
| ring, and on the sides and underside. I think this provides all necessary
| movement. It is unmanned, and serves for exploration of unknown environments
| on newly discovered planets and satellites. The windows are for two cameras
| that show the operators the world they are exploring. I might add another
| camera to the front, but have not decided yet (it would probably subtract
| some coolness).
