Crayon CAD #2 - Main Gantry Structure

‎
This is what I like to call “Crayon CAD” or when the project exists as undetailed blobs.
‎
I have just finished working out some of the basic layout of the gantry structure. It is going to be cantilevered over One side of the rotating base, and the extendable carriage will ride along the 72 inch long 2x2 aluminum tube using bearings and belts.
‎
The main beam is supported by two 2x2 aluminum tubes that form a triangle of support, this design allows for maximum travel length and minimal interaction with plants.
‎
FYI I am currently designing the robot to be compatble with any plant up to 36 inches tall, this includes some smaller types of tomato, pepper, and bean plants.
‎
I also sketched out the roller gantry design before CADing it.
