BB V3.0 Potting Area Adjustment

Potting area adjustment for NC and MD to reduce capture time and improve reconstruction.

Instructions for Adjusting Pot Positions

1. General Adjustment:

   • Move pots in both the X and Y axis directions closer to the starting (0,0) pot position (see figure). This will effectively shrink the potting area.

   • The boundaries (large spaces) separating different species groups will thus be moved closer to the (0,0) position in the y-axis direction.

2. Distance Between Pots:

   • Adjust the distance between pots from the current 2 feet to 1 foot (+/- 2 inches).

   • Ensuring all pots are moved uniformly by 1 foot will create consistent travel distances for the camera along the x-axis.

3. Special Considerations for Large Plants:

   • For large plants, such as Browntop Millet in MD:

     • Move pots 1 foot closer as instructed.

     • Thin out overlapping plants afterward by cleaning removing plants that are too large.

Key Points to Remember:

• Consistent spacing is crucial to prevent the bot from traveling different distances in the X-axis direction.

• Uniform adjustment across the entire potting area will enhance the efficiency and accuracy of image capture and reconstruction.
