Just starting a thread to discuss the "reads like an advertisement" tag that another editor added recently. My take: Maybe there's a "slightly promotional tone" (per the ES), but I don't think it's an NPOV problem. The prose conveys the excitement of the achievement but doesn't promote anything else. Maybe a tweak needed but that's it. Great article and fascinating topic. -- Middle 8 ( talk) 03:57, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Even 5-6 years ago in some high tech studying documentaries were briefly telling that Pentagon related labs were working on bee sized nano flying robots. But this news with Harvard was surprising thing to see. Orgio89 ( talk) 07:51, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
"In 5 B.C. A guy got a gold in hoping of a fence in a cow race to see the fastest pig." appears to be irreverent to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.91.182.208 ( talk) 13:56, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
Search and rescue? Surely it should be search and destroy. You can be sure this is going to be used for military purposes.Especially when you search and see which term is more common. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.116.104.94 ( talk) 12:35, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
