Conceptual scaled 'farmbot'

Inspired by the farmbot and other open source ideas, this is a concept I've been thinking about and finally did a quick sketchup to better explain it to some friends. You'll get the idea, just take a look. Let me know if there are any collaborators in the Bay Area!

Modular building systems

This tool is to provide a list of modular construction systems to provide the basis for standards, adaptation and discussion around the strengths and weaknesses and best applications of the various systems for prototyping and on-farm use.

Modular Wire Weeder

Hi! Recently I made a set of modular wire hoes made solely from parts found at the local hardware store. It took me about half an hour to assemble all parts using just a few simple pliers. Each item of the hoe can be disconnected and replaced if needed. This summer I will be testing the prototype on two farms in the Netherlands (both on sandy soil) to see if the tool is sturdy enough. In addition to testing the current prototype, I am looking to develop this modular set further. The system is based on quick release connectors typically used for pneumatic machines. I think the quick release connector system can also become part of a wheel hoe, rake or small hand weeders. If you are interested in helping to further develop this modular set or test it in your own garden, please let me know! I will upload an instruction manual and a list of parts needed as soon as possible
