I currently move a Salatin-style chicken tractor 12 feet every day, and I could totally see turning this thing into a chicken tractor that moves itself. Bonus points if it could spot sick or injured birds, or identify a problem bird that attacks the other chickens, etc. Or even predator detection/deterrence if a fox or raccoon starts trying to dig under the edge to get inside to the chickens.

That's a great application. Robot could even move from tractor to tractor to move multiple of them down the field.

When you're manually moving the tractor, do the birds ever get stuck/pinched under the edges? Seeing videos of them being moved, it seems like it might be easy to have happen if the chicken got lazy.
