I think the following would be a great idea for Mouse Droids.
Use them to carry messages/small cargoes to specific locations.
The small cargoes would be realtively easy to implement.
The messages, possibly so. I don't think it could be a replacement for email, but it would be an interesting way to send messages to vendors/shops...
The actual sending it to a specific location would also be fairly simple. Just use Dijkstra's Algorithm for finding the shortest path between two points. Set the start point to the obvious start point, and the end point to wherever they want it to go. Make the available area a 25 sqkm to 100 sqkm square with the start at the center. And then use the algorithm's ability to handle distances between two adjacent points to handle terrain slowing it down and houses being in the way.
