About the Farm

BLT Farms, Inc. is full of activities, some of which robots will be taking part in. Take a look at the pieces used on the game field this year and learn more about the farm.
Game Piece: Pig
Game Piece: Corn Seeds
Game Piece: Corn
Pigs (Small Toy Pigs)
BLT Farms, Inc. has a number of different operations going on in their fields. Unfortunately, their pigs like to roam the fields and eat the corn. Mr. Bread, the owner of BLT Farms, Inc., is looking for a solution to fix this problem by corralling the pigs and feeding them so they stop eating the crops.
Corn Seeds (Golf Balls)
Corn is one of the farm's largest crops. In order to make the job easier and enable them to plant more corn, a robot is needed that can plant the seeds precisely.
Corn (Paint Rollers)
Harvesting the corn on the farm is a large job. A robot that can harvest and deliver the corn quickly will be a tremendous asset to this growing farm.
Game Pieces: Tomatoes
Tomatoes (Whiffle Balls)
Tomatoes grow on the farm's new hydroponic stands. Harvesting and delivering the fruit to the produce stand could be made much easier with a robot.
Game Piece: Lettuce
Lettuce (Bath Loofas)
Crisp heads of lettuce flourish on the new hydroponic stand. They needed to be delivered quickly after being harvested to ensure the customers get the freshest produce. A quick and efficient robot could do this in no time.
