While the idea has merit, the execution seems painfully weak. I’ve got to disagree. While the idea has merit, the execution seems painfully weak.

(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067756/) Although this robot gardener idea seems to have taken on a kind of cyborg like cyber-plant direction. Part robot part plant. I guess that maybe a possible way to do it in the distant future, although surely a Silent Running style large greenhouse with robots tending to all the plants would be far more practical. As soon as they create robot gardeners, I'll have to get three of them :) I can’t help hearing this idea of a robotic gardener without thinking about Huey, Dewey and Louie from the classic film Silent Running.

In a "We will take over the world using our blade-like feet to slice you to bits." way, with the single glowing red eye. Maybe if they made the eye a different colour, like blue, it might be a bit less creepy. The artwork is slightly disturbing.
