I was very confused for a moment there as a scientist and rugby referee. Regardless, your point makes real sense in both contexts.

The future is autonomy at scale. In science and war. No more single operator flying a small drone w short areal coverage. It won't be long before we use cheap swarms in formation. The challenge is programming (and deep learning) not hardware cost.
