      Hey folks I'm pretty new to the forum, I just wanted to share a concept for a farming robot I had called hive, It would use tiny robotic drones to pollinate crops and deliver insecticide and such to plants. well let me know what you think, also does anyone know of any free organic modeling plug ins?

          If you use organic plugins it needs to be organic farming πŸ˜‰

          Or if you want an active thread here, introduce GMO's!

          Nice model. I think tractors in all their forms and attachments are now already what farmers would want a robot to do. Many have robotic functions such as advanced communications and sensors, satellite links, GPS. Some do pretty much run themselves, sensing crop and soil conditions, slope, etc and fine-tuning applications for every part of a field. Adding a bionic element (besides a farmer) is interesting.

              Nicely done, the details are great πŸ‘

              I was wondering tho, if it's purpose is to deliver the drones, what is the function of all the arms?

              Also, if it is to operate in fields maybe a more aggressive tread would be called for?

                yes a more treded wheel wwould work better, the main body of hive would still function independently of the drones as a farming robot, the arms will have multi tools that can be changed for whatever situation is needed.

                  Very cool model, Drew. πŸ‘

                  My only comment is: your wheels are cutting through the bender or whatever you want to call it.

                  Did you model the bees? is there a closeup of them? That would be fun if these bees were actually cyborg bees with organic body and head but with cybernetic legs and wings. πŸ˜‰

                  Best,
