Reception

gollark: You could set up charging stations on important routes.

gollark: Linked cards would allow you to entirely ignore routing but can't do navigation.

gollark: The drones could also store bigger programs by booting off the network.

gollark: Isn't it just flooding-based? Really inefficient. You'd burn all their battery power.

gollark: They would then submit their data to central servers which would hold all of it and provide it on demand to the shipping drones.
