I will go on record as saying that you need some kind of metering ahead of your shooter and that interface will be EXTREMELY critical if you're aiming for this kind of Lunacy™.
Once you work that out, you should wind it up to 8 or 9 per stream, just for the video of the midair traffic jam falling back on your robot.
