Hello, we are based in Christchurch, New Zealand. We are building our Farmbot on the grounds of St Margarets College. We are in in the middle of the building phase, we were wondering if there are any other builders in our part of the world. Would be great to connect with you! ---

Greetings, I am also starting a new build here in Chicago, Illinois. I will be building a test system first on a set of tables. By the way, I have been to Christchurch several times while working on cruise ships and think that Christchurch is truly one of my favorite places in the world. ---

I am from Chicago, the windy city, and have visited Wellington several times. I felt right at home in “Windy Wellington”. I am also starting a new build. Just a test build for now, will add soil when I know everything works. ---

How did you go sourcing the gear in NZ? I’m wondering about doing the same as I would like to save money on buying the kit from farmbot. I’m in Wellington. Cheers. ---

Hey guys, I live in Auckland and I’m currently thinking about getting a Farmbot… However I wanted to see it in action first, so if someone could show me their Farmbot that would be really great. I mean right now is not the perfect season for that, but I should probably start to prepare and get everything ready before spring… Thx Sebastian ---

Mine is in pieces unfortunately as I’m doing an upgrade and moving it not sure how long that will take. ---

Well… Would be great if you could just send info when it’s ready to look at… 🙂 Or maybe you need some help moving/upgrading it? 😃 ---

It should be just a GST charge as they are flat packed. ---

Nice one, congrats on the XL. It’s on my future shopping list. Fairly sure the person on here who led the St Margaret’s farmbot initiative has moved on. I know a couple of children who go to the school so I’ll see if I can find out what the latest is.
