The apple picker I blogged about a couple of days ago is nice and it works. But I’m not going to use it.
MkII is better because it has no moving parts; the robot will just drive up to the tree and the top prongy-thingy will knock the apple off the tree and into the chute. At least that is the plan.
MkI was a case of reaching for the the CAD package before actually engaging brain.
