One thing has nothing to do with the other. With over thirthy years of hardware and software engineering experience, including being published by ACM robotics I think I can voice opinion about a design concept. The nature and details of the connector have nothing whatsoever to do with the validity of my arguments. As for the $30K price point for a robotic snake charger. Well, let's just say I have designed and manufactured enough hardware during my career to have an idea. It sure as hell won't be $3,000.
