Nerf is at it again, this time with drones. Have they been going over the sourcebooks?

Just more proof to my theory that Nerf is actually a covert government recruitment project meant to start indoctrination of future soldiers at an early age.

I remember when Nerf released that football with a tail fin on it.  What a weird memory to recall.  Now I want a robot that shoots Nerf footballs.
