A Search and Rescue Robot? What do you think?

"The Recon Scout® Rescue is a miniature, mobile reconnaissance device that will add greater safety and speed to your search and rescue and hazmat operations. Armed with this throwable, tetherable device first responders can quickly conduct initial reconnaissance within confined or dangerous spaces by directing the Rescue device to move through the environment and transmit live video of the scene to front line personnel and commanders." Taken from recon-scout.com
I recieved an email a few days ago advertising this new toy. There is more information at the above site if you are interested in purchasing one of these little guys. I want to know what you think though. What would be the pros and cons of using a search "robot?" Sounds expensive and easily breakable to me, and what fun would it be if we let a robot do all the searching for us?
