Interchangeable Tooling
The Genesis Universal Tool Mounting system features 12 electrical connections, three liquid/gas lines, and magnetic coupling to support a wide variety of tools.
Included Tools
Seed Injector
Powered by a 24 volt vacuum pump, the seed injector can precisely position seeds in the ground with millimeter accuracy. Interchangeable luer lock needles allow you to work with both small and large seeds.
Watering Nozzle
Coupled with a solenoid valve, this tool allows you to precision water your plants with a gentle shower. The two-piece design allows custom spray patterns by 3D printing your own lower half.
Weeder
Stomp out weeds before they become a problem with this customizable weeding tool. Blades and spikes come standard, though you can experiment with corkscrews and other implement designs.
Soil Sensor
By measuring the moisture content of the soil, FarmBot can be configured to take care of your crops in more water-efficient ways. For example: it can avoid watering after a rain.
Seed Containers
The included seed bin holds large amounts of one type of seed, while the trays are suitable for planting many different crops or when the number of seeds per hole needs to be strictly controlled.
Camera
FarmBot’s built-in waterproof camera can take photos of your plants and soil in order to track plant growth, detect weeds, and one day identify pests, disease, and fruit ripeness.
