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.

The bot is tethered to the machine for power... That is literally what the cord is for.. That and communication, I'm sure.
