 Yes, it could. All the key components are there to control a quadcopter of any size. There is yet no firmware support for this though. However, imagine having it dockable into a big frame which could carry it a long way and then just release it so it can enter a small area where the big frame can't get to, Sci-Fi... Yes, it could.
