Our Robot: R7A "Ceres"

The R7A "Ceres" was developed by GEARS, Inc. for BLT Farms. The robot is designed to harvest corn, plant seeds and turn the water valve to collect extra points. It is also able to collect all the other tomatoes and lettuce on the hydroponic stands.
The robot is named "Ceres" for roman goddess of agriculture.

The robot consists of several different systems:

• The drive system consists of two wheels and propels the robot across the field.
• The planting system consists of a seed repository that plants seeds individually.
• The water system controls the water valve to provide appropriate irrigation of the crops.
  
• The harvesting system collects and delivers the crops.
