Introduction to Solar Powered Farming Robots

Join us this Friday, March 8th at 12pm PST/8pm UTC, for a conversation with Sequoia a.k.a. Taylor Alexander, Maintainer of the Acorn Farming Robot Project: ruclips.net/user/li...
Sequoia and Daniel Theobald are building Acorn: an open source general purpose solar powered precision farming rover, intended to be used in every step of the farming process.
The goal is for Acorn to function as an autonomous farming robot in a regenerative organic farming system, where the machine design, software and electronics are all open source and freely available.
Acorn is just one small part of the "Solar Powered Farming Revolution" - but it is unique in its community approach, which lowers the cost and ensures broader access by using bicycle parts and 3D printed parts in its approach.

ACORN is:
-low cost
-precision farming rover
-solar powered
-4 wheel drive
-4 wheel steering
-lightweight
There is a design kit in development and you can learn more and get involved with the community at: community.twistedfields.com
