 ==Comment by Andrew Frueh, designer of GardenBot==
 ''"To help you understand the scope of GardenBot -- it is designed as a collection of modules with the specific intent of making the system extensible. This means that it is relatively easy to add extra sensors or water valves. My thinking being that GardenBot could be used in a wider variety of situations -- from the home garden to more agricultural applications. So I imagine it would integrate quite well (at least I hope it would ;-) . I am interested in putting GardenBot to the test wherever I can to make the system as robust and easy to use as possible. So please let me know your and Marcin's thoughts etc."''
