        what would it mean for battery to be fixed? How much lifetime before it's not a concern?

        I think that depends on application. Or possibly autonomy - if it returns to charger after each $THING it does maybe better

        1. collision avoidance - too easy to destroy $$$. 2. Limited places you can go fly. 3. Too bulky.
