Does anyone see farming moving in this future direction? Smaller robots seeding?

          I think the challenge there would be the volume of inputs we put down now, would be way too many trips back for product. I do think there is potential for weed specific spraying or even mechanical rogueing of fields with little robots. Same argument as always of needing to make human thought based decisions ie wet spots, obstacles.

          Besides when you shut the engine off to call it a night and you hear that extra quiet calmness after listening to the diesel all day with a few frogs croaking in the background and the smell of moist soil disturbed by the drill, why would you want to miss that!

            Where the hell is my flying car running on a hydrogen fuel cell? It was supposed to be here ten years ago.

              Does anyone else notice how folks can’t seem to drive straight anymore on that opening round when they are free handing it? Is that just the younger guys or has everyone lost that ability?

                When your one big unit goes down due to (input cause), wouldn't you appreciate 15 of your 16 bots continuing to function.

                Love the concept.

                  Building the machines is the easy part, servos, sensors, actuators, ect are cheap.

                  The challenge is the programming and debugging. Farms will need electro/mechanical engineering skills to reprogram, debug, fix, maintain, repair, etc

                  I don’t know 1farmer that has these skills, except Klause who is likely capable.

                  It seems on our equipment today our failures are not mechanical but sensor/electrical.

                    Right so lets add thousands more fail points, the repair man job will be the one to have.

                      A city full of brown pudding and your six year old would have them back operational in minutes. Right biglentil!
