G+_Toby Robb Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Travis Hershberger i was thinking about that , i guess an autonomous vehicle with a robot arm would be the next logical step for broadscale farming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Toby Robb Yeah. Robot truck that can do it all. Would be a lot less efficient than the mass farming of today, but you could make it a LOT better environmentally and health wise.... Organic robot farmer!

G+_Toby Robb Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 I was thinking that if the base of the CNC was on a sled tethered to cables either side, it could probably drag it self along the crop rows like the cable sprinklers do..
