"Taken over" likely refers to overpopulating the bands, not winning
the contests.

The reason that robots have not been released is that, with our
limited spectrum available, it has been felt to be bad policy to allow
a frequency/channel to be usurped by an unattended machine.

Do you think that 100 CQing robots would impact 40 meter DX contesting
positively ?

Do you think  "single operators" each "managing" 6 robots calling CQ
on 6 bands in a computer interleaved pattern would impact contesting
positively?
