BOB the Vegetation Relocator
Hey Everyone, this is Brandon.
Hey Everyone, this is Brandon.

I would like to introduce to you the Biological Orientated Benefactor or BOB for short. BOB is a robot that I created along with my 3 other brothers: Bryan, Joseph, and Erick. Erick taught me how to program it using Processing so that it would respond to the touch of the keyboard, making it move left, right, up, down, open the claw, close the claw, depending on which key I press. Bryan and Joseph designed the outer layer of legos to make it look better while also adding the claw and a large container to hold objects suck as plants for instance. You could not believe how many times we had to readjust the claw. We tried using rubber bands, switching the grippers, changing the motor, we even tried tape, but eventually we got it.

Bob is a robot that was made to move plants or vegetation from one place to another. Scientist have been developing ways to increase the amount of food farms made yearly. These robots would not only increase that amount but also take a workload off the farmers shoulders.
