For some its over engineered. But for time poor people who want to grow their own food in the back yard it seems perfect. By virtue of the fact that it can manipulate the plants by robot you can keep track of many metrics automatically via the remote user interface. Where the plants are, when they were planted. Staggered planting. IT could bring relatively advanced techniques to complete newbies. Plus its scalable - just extend the raised bed if you have space and it allows manual intervention because it can be moved out of the way easily. For watering yes I agree its complete overkill.
