GardenBot

:) Here is a link to my GardenBot robot. It currently can carry a payload of up to 175 lbs and tow a Scotts Fertilizer spreader around my lawn.

Future modifications include adding a Vex based garden tool that will enable GardenBot to plant and water plants and tree seedlings for greenhouse, garden centers and tree farming.

Looks like a working model of your bot could be a money maker. Reminds me of the space movie 'Silent Running' with Robert Durn? The little robots who silently went about tending the garden with its little watering can, etc.

In addition, it will soon be able avoid obstacles, follow lines, respond to voice commands and follow me at a distance.

Bruce Dern was the actor who stared in the sci-fi movie Silent Running along with the three drones: Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
