Extending Farmbot to 4 meters

Thanks for Farmbot! I just pre-ordered the kit. I have an existing raised bed that’s 1.2m by 4m, which I understand is a bit larger than the recommended length (3m). Can I simply extend the tracks or are there other considerations (length of tubing and/or wiring)?

Thanks!

The guys from FarmBot have claimed (but unconfirmed) that the motors from the Genesis v1.2 kit can support track lengths up to 12 meters. It is indeed simply a case of adding more track extrusions, longer cables and cable carriers.

Give it a shot and let us know what things you ran into while extending your FarmBot. We’d love to learn from your experience.
