Operating this at scale will be a problem. Yes, you can make one this big, but how durable is it when you build one at industrial scale? If you need a million little tiny fingers working for days at a time, what’s the mean time to failure and how hard are they to replace?
Right, but how long will it last before it breaks? If it can only do an acre of crops before part of the mechanism breaks it won’t get adopted by farmers.

I agree that it’s a good thing, but I don’t think you understand the point I’m making, so I’m ending it here.
