I'll bet you could open the grippers fully and recalibrate on power up.

No mention of nuking the poles.

I don't see fly-by-fiber getting very popular. The only goal is anti-jamming. But if the drone was fully autonomous, there would be no signals to jam. And the fully autonomous drones are coming fast. Meta's SAM 2 can follow pretty much any object anywhere, and people are beginning to get it running on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin. That's 75% of the work. The other 25% is autopilot and a way to disable it if it flies back over friendly territory. 6 months I'd say, for amateurs starting now. I'm sure some companies already have prototypes working.

We are still early. Eventually you'll be able to change your race, gender, add reptile eyes, regrow limbs etc. Has to start somewhere. Need more data.
