1. Manure Cleaner Robot By: Marcus Ortuno & John Audlin

2. Problem We have been tasked with the design and fabrication of a robotic prototype capable of maneuvering within a typical cow barn environment and relocating manure to a disposal area.

3. Background 2 people are needed at the VTC farm during milking: one for doing the milking and the other for cleaning the area of manure. A cow can produce ≈ 80-120 pounds of manure in one day. (80% water) Poor hygiene increases risk of coliform mastitis and other health concerns.
