Baskets might work for your garden, but not for a big strawberry field. That solution doesn't scale.

Thank you.

We seem to have a problem with "something like" in this thread.

Not talking about literal baskets or literally growing strawberries like olives. Those are just examples of different growth form factors that 1) allow automation and 2) clearly show the strawberries on the outside.

Just a bit of a rant. If everything has to be explicit robots are going to take your jobs kids. Need to be able to think in general principals to stay safe from that.
