Agribot IV
We put this bucket on the agribot and tried moving it with a channel iron torque arm and linear actuator. Although the bucket is handy, it was too heavy for these little actuators (even with leverage). We decided to see if we could find someone to help us weld a smaller and lighter bucket. As we counter-weighted the bot, we realized these tires were too thin for outdoor applications - so we'll need to explore some fatter tires.
Linear actuators like the one above aren't cheap, so we're exploring homemade alternatives.
