Agree. Long-run, a drone type machine may well become successful (flying around zapping weeds) but this is way over-engineered for what it does.

Drones are fun, but there might be no need to fight weeds so much. They help plants get stronger and kill off weak ones. Farms are overrun with pests and weeds because ecosystem is incomplete and natural cycles are not followed. Some type of permaculture approach like Fukuoka farming could be a more robust alternative to zapping.
