I like boring robots. Tractobot03 is approaching that stage. Here is a boring video of it planting: https://youtu.be/yccOilS22fo Tractobot03 has planted 122A this week. I have not driven it locally for any planting. It was painfully slow and tedious for a couple days. I had to enter each line into my code, ensuring that it went the correct way, start following the line, drop the planter, and start the fertilizer. Then I had to raise the planter, stop the fertilizer, turn, then load a new line. Today felt much better. It's running pretty much on its own. I even ran home once while it traveled from the far end of the field. The main problem now is that I lose GPS periodically. At least I have it programmed to stop when that happens. Then I back up and resume. Because of the pressure to plant, I fell back on my old navigation code. My lines are not at all straight. I'm calling them "heritage lines" - like my grandfather planted. I look forward to improving them. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/tractobots-my-attempts-at-field-robots/1486/62) or reply to this email to respond.
