I think 10,000 quadcopters might be able to do something really amazing. I'm back down to "dog-sized," and I'm back to small payloads. It's a design challenge to come up with useful atomic units that such a robot could lift, but the number of them that can operate independently is a serious factor. I'll recast this in terms I'm more familiar with: we used to scale software by getting faster CPUs with more powerful instructions. Now we're all being told to scale by numbers of CPUs. Can building construction be similarly recast? Your CH-53E Super Stallion is effectively scaling up. Can we instead use quadcopters to scale out?
