I think it is like LHC, core concept may be waste of resources for some however the benefit here is research and development on materials, sensors, engines, power supply, automation so on. At least better than arms race (I know that DARPA funds some robots).
- tnecniv 8y ago> I know that DARPA funds some robots DARPA funding is not necessarily violent. One can argue that the current explosion in self-driving cars is due to the DARPA challenges in the 2000s.
