Hi! Thank you for all the feedback.

The creative destruction lab looks really cool, and I may ask for an introduction, but, I worry that I'm am not really trying to build a business here. I don't see a product or customers in growing forests robotically. It's just a forest. And the robots are to handle the scale, they are doing nothing a low skilled worker couldn't do.

I don't see any real business opportunity outside of selling carbon credits, but there are vastly more profitable ways to use land.

But it's a reliable and feasible solution to climate change nonetheless, and something I could theoretically do with funding. So, hence Kickstarter, a place where businesses don't need to be businesses! :)

Oh, I built a rover named Henry, but I can't quite say that he is a forest planting prototype.
