Morphological studies will also allow obtaining a 3D geometrical model (e.g. Therefore provide potential evolvability planning for Growbots and determining what kind of reach and attachment for what kind of conditions within the current technological constraints.
Different climbing plant species inhabit different climbing niches, the analyses will provide a range of "performance" traits characterizing climbing plants that will be essential for the discussion of different "GrowBot life histories" from small bodied mobile green soft creeping twining systems adapted for short space colonization to life histories adapted for longer range larger scale larger span environments. Several approaches and technologies will be used (e.g., microcomputed tomography and high-field magnetic resonance imaging viscoelastic and tribological features.Įxpected results: The analyses will provide coarse grain knowledge of the diversity of potential GrowBot models available and their functional strategies with respect to environment complexity in terms of size, shape, density of supports, clutter and presence of voids. Refill bottles as necessary.Activities: (a) Ecological and functional survey of attachment organs and searcher deployment structures and "strategies" (b) Exploring the diversity of searcher span versus mechanical architecture and attachment mode (twining, adhesion, hook, spine, tendril) (c) field measurements of attachment types – maximum force, energy of fracture, tribology of stems and climbing organs, friction coefficients (d) "Smart Carabiners". For the best results, make sure the spikes are perfectly vertical and that they don’t lean to one side. Each durable terracotta spike is 7.78 inches long and features a 1.6-inch bottle opening at the top, large enough to accommodate wine bottles or 2-liter soda bottles. For longer watering, use a larger bottle. Depending on the humidity, temperature, and type of growing medium in the container, a 1-liter bottle will dispense water for up to 10 days.

The kit comes with four terracotta watering stakes, each of which will support a bottle full of water.
With the Remiawy Automatic Plant Watering Stakes, you can keep even a large container watered. RUNNER-UP: Remiawy Plant Watering Stakes 4-Pack The stakes are suitable for both indoor and outdoor container gardens.
Choose from packs of three, six, 12, 48, or 50 cone spikes and water a couple of plants or an extra-large container garden. Depending on how much water the reservoir holds, the Blumat system can keep your plants watered for weeks. As the coned spikes dry, they draws more water from the bowl through the tubing, dispersing the moisture at the roots of the plant. Soak the Blumat Classic Automatic Plant Watering Stakes with water, insert them near the plant’s roots, and then put the other ends of the attached silicone tubing into a reservoir such as a bottle or bowl of water. Photo: BEST OVERALL: Blumat Classic Automatic Plant Watering Stakes Your container plants can get a steady supply of water even when you’re not there to water them thanks to one of these automatic plant waterers. You don’t have to give up going on vacation just to keep your plants watered. With a third method, you fill a bucket fitted with tiny tubes and hang it higher than the plants, so gravity carries water from the bucket to plants in a slow, steady drip. Absorbent string “wicks” can suck up water from a bowl or reservoir placed near the plant and slowly transfer the water from the bowl to the soil. One common method involves attaching a bottle of water to a spike and inserting the spike into the soil near a plant’s roots where it dispenses a slow trickle of water to keep the soil damp but not soggy. Plant waterers distribute water slowly to a plant’s roots. In small containers-or containers in which many plants compete for available moisture-failing to water at least once or twice per day can weaken plants and lower the chances of producing vegetables or flowers. Because their growing medium can dry out quickly, container plants require frequent watering to remain healthy, especially if the container sits outdoors during hot, dry weather.
