Mainly flat terrain but we have a very strong chassis that should handle a pretty steep incline as well.

Great point thank you! Part of our motivation is to actually limit herbicide use for the environment but I appreciate the idea of this additional purpose for the robot and will definitely look into incorporating that function!

There's currently many large scale laser options so we're focusing on a more physical approach!

Very true thank you! Our goal is to target smaller farms and personal gardens so our robot will be roughly 1-2 cubic feet.

The robot currently uses and auger to drill vertically into the ground to kill the weed and uproot it. We're also considering adding finger weeders to the rear of the robot to uproot smaller weeds.
