High Schoolers Build Farm Robot Amiga

A crew of high schoolers from Santa Maria built a custom robot sprayer called Amiga to revolutionize small-scale farming—complete with a 10-gallon tank, adjustable height, and path-following tech. They entered it in a statewide competition against 90+ schools, winning the Amiga Innovation Award. Students from Santa Maria, Pioneer Valley, and Delta High, guided by ag teacher Steve Gambril, are refining it for full autonomy this summer and plan to compete again at the California Youth Agriculture Expo in July. This project proves young minds are solving real-world ag challenges with precision and passion. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
