Adam Scriven commented on Rich Maynard's blog post Project: Introducing Box-T (ArduRover)"Very cool idea! If the animals get acclimated perhaps adding something like a water gun or decomposable air-soft projectile?
@Brian: I hesitate to say, but are you going to name your FidoRover K-9?"
John Githens commented on Rich Maynard's blog post Project: Introducing Box-T (ArduRover)"Nifty project. I see lots of planting beds in your photo.

Alex Arevalo commented on Rich Maynard's blog post Project: Introducing Box-T (ArduRover)"Does it do anything to "shoo" them away? Is it possible would get used to his presence and eat your veggies anyway?"
