A few thoughts instantly hit me (one of them being I wouldn't mind $10million to make a toy bat ), but lets see what you lot think

Oh come on, it is al least cute isn't it?!!? Noone even thinks its even worthy of an e-comment .. how the hell did they get $10million!?!?

I can see the requirement, but my first questions is why a bat?!??

As opposed to a bird? If it was a real bat it'd be cos they're silent, but maybe it's because it's black (in the words of Ali G).

As opposed to something you might actually be able to steer and land!!

I also wonder if their field of operation is always going to have no wind (it has to be able to fly, land and hold still and it is supposed to only weight ~100g) and I'd love to know how they are going to power 2 cameras, a mini radar AND a video/sound/data transmitter all for 1w of power ... and we are not even flying yet!!

i say bring in ROBOCOP
