What could possibly go wrong?

  An analogous to that question would be what could possibly go right with this? This project has incredible potential, but also incredibly complex issues it needs to solve in multitudes as well.

    From the blurb, "However, the economics of planting a LOT more trees were terrible. He was horrified at how technologically-lagged the forest re-planting industry was compared to logging or…well…any other industry. The lack of technology meant replanting was extremely expensive. Planters had to be imported to remote regions for temporary work, and were given nothing but the same rudimentary tools of the 1940’s to plant: Just a bag and shovel." ...and they seem to have at least identified the obvious issues. Drones don't care about terrain, so things that really slow down human workers - like swampy ground or alpine terrain - aren't a problem. I can see great potential in applying the system to wetland forest.
