That's exactly what I have and I'm telling you, it's still impractical. One, my greenhouse is a 24x13' footprint (which is pretty much the minimum useable with for a walk-in), with 3 bed rows 16' long, 2 or 4' wide. So I'd need 3 robot setups. Beds are long and skinny to facilitate human ergonomics. The shown examples are way too wide for raised beds, unless they are the walk-on type. So I'd still benefit from a robot which could straddle the bed and be easy to move from one bed to another.

It's open source and designed to be modular/expandable. What's stopping you from building one to fit your needs?

Here's some pictures[0] of people building larger scale ones:

- 10x20' inside a greenhouse

- 1.5x18m outdoor

Maybe you need 1 robot with wide legs?
