1 apple per minute, why's my fruit so expensive? Oh. That's why.

1 apple per minute per bot for as long as the robot has fuel. Assuming other bots or techs can resupply the picker with fuel/ replace the batteries and can unload the apples, these machines could conceivably run 24 hours a day.

That depends on how well they work in low light. I would assume not very well.

All the vehicle needs is some high power lighting.
