Machine Sourcing
- Bag-a-Nut Brand Rotary Sweepers and Reach Extender Like "Stab-a-Nut" Devices
- ~65 USD for "Stab-a-Nut" Device
- ~520 USD for the "18" Pine & Magnolia Cone Picker" (Seems very overpriced; could probably FDM 3D Print the "rotors" and use standard components for the rest, maybe CAD it out later)
Misc Alternative Uses
Golf Ball Collection
Internal Links
- Rotary Nut Collector (A mechanism with a similar use case (albeit typically smaller scale) that utilizes a whisk-like wire "cage" that is pushed over the desired item, trapping it inside)
