Holy crap is this thing for real? Sorry but this is straight up inefficiency in its finest. Honestly the amount material to produce one farm bot far out weighs the amount of produce in can produce. Like I hate monoculture farming but a 20 Ton tractor can service like 10 Thousand acres of dry area/irrigated cropping country a piece of piss, do it automated and by GPS and return Hundreds of Tons of produce.
TBH if someone would just build me a robot that has 20 km range, can deal with crawling up hills and can identify coloured shapes and "pick" them (pneumatic suction would probably do it), We could put a few tens of thousand blueberry/coffee pickers out of business.
FarmBot will not put anyone out of business. The Japanese Aeroponic farms have a better chance of being the future of production.
