…for color, they're also looking for the geometry and precision of the crop. Our robots have gotten bigger and now have a boom. It now makes sense to cover more area—one robot can cover 400 acres per week, so we'll have a lot more data for next season. We'll have 30 units running in spring 2023. We did our first launch at the Farm Progress Show in Iowa at the end of August. We're focused on the sprayer robot for weeds in the U.S. for next season. What are some of the challenges Solinftec is still addressing? Ferreira: Some of…
