You mentioned it not really working for raised beds and I immediately just pictured someone coming up with cat walks or something to get the turtle around. XD Great review, interesting to see how it works. Also great to see the stoppers, because my immediate thought at it bumping into things before turning around was ‘what about new growth’ so yeah good that they seem to have thought of that. Also thinking maybe a combination of mapping and bumping into things? So it’s less likely to get stuck in one part of the garden, but also can still adapt to a changing environment as plants grew or change over time. Perhaps the turtle could also roughly make where plants are so it doesn’t need to bump into them as much which could help with plants that maybe don’t like being bumped into so much Eg. shallots I’m guessing. Then the map can slowly change over time as the plants grew. Also perhaps a way to erase parts of a map Eg. Save the garden bed placement but wipe the plant locations for the next planting season or you took away the bump guards or wipe the beds plans as well because you changed things.
I like the video but I have some feedback. Feels overproduced. This is youtube, not an infomercial. We are here for your normal person's perspective. Think about just having a normal conversation with a friend about whether this product is worth it. Don't have to hit the product marketing point just talk about your experiences with these features. anyway that is my 2 cents.
Bobby! I’m impressed with your gardening skills! Good to see you jump in on this review.
Thanks Marc!
They should make it smarter by adding a lidar sensor

Sweet
Very cool robot
Weeding robot, what a thing!
$300 is a little steep for a smaller garden like mine, but absolutely useless for raised beds so I think I'll pull weeds by hand just like always.
How does this work over mulched beds?
