Chauncey is a Wrylon Robotical Flower Care Robot. Due to certain regrettable events, full-scale production of the FLORABOT 3L-1G model, a.k.a. Chauncey, ceased in 1913. However, do not despair -- you can build your own fully functional, 3D-printed Chauncey.
Mk. I plans for building Chauncey were published in the excellent 3D Printing Projects book.
Now, this updated Mk. II Chauncey can be created using the Adafruit CLUE microcontroller board runningCircuitPython and the Bonsai Buckaroo add-on board to sense soil moisture levels and water your flower or plant using a small, submersible pump.
Designed by Barry McWilliams and modeled by Barry McWilliams and John Park.
