3
Background Many barns that contain livestock require some method to contain the animal waste and make it easy to clean Wood shavings are typically spread to make cleanup easier
4
Problem Statement Wood shavings may make cleanup easier, but it is still tedious. The shavings still need to be collected and removed.
5
Solution Statement Our solution consists of Autonomously driven vehicle with a vacuum source to collect the material Spiraling navigation Material collection storage area, with an auger disposal Docking station for disposal (HomeBase)
