  • Is that plant placement robot controller script available inside assets, or is it a custom-made script?

      That's a great question. The PlantPlacementRobotController.cs is a custom script we created specifically to handle plant placement and robot movement. At some point in the future, we plan to make the project available on GitHub. If you would like me to share this script for reference, let me know and I can create a GitHub Gist for you.

        Thanks so much for the clarification! Yes, it would definitely be helpful if you could share the script via a GitHub Gist. I’ve been trying to write my own version and ran into some issues, so being able to compare would really help me learn and debug. Also looking forward to seeing the full project when it’s released!
