Am I being too simplistic?

SPORT exists. And my point of reference is that it's a much more sophisticated version of an Erector Set. But how much more? The real value it brings is the smaller footprint, from which it can be moved and anchored in smaller surgical areas..... AND those snake arms that permit reaching around fixed objects. The surgeons console isn't more sophisticated mechanically than a drone pilot console, but using both hands at the same time. Anything more to this is beyond 1.x IMO.

The surgeon can already see the full surgical theater. I can see (pun intended) as a future feature - putting the camera on a 3rd snake arm to see around those fixed objects - otherwise the usefulness of those flexible arms are limited by the surgeons ability to see what they're grasping/cutting, etc. But for now - how about just putting a mirror and an LED, on a fixed rod (maybe with blinders, or a hood over the mirror) to see around those objects????? And the ability to squirt water on the mirror from the camera, if the mirror gets smudged? For that matter - attach a hose to the rod/mirror and release sterile solution from a reservoir outside the body. This can't be difficult. There's already an external reservoir for washing the camera. Things like that.
