2022 Model
The 2022 batch of kits is completely allocated to research participants. Please contact Dr. Brown (brownreb@uri.edu) if you are interested in future opportunities.
We packed all the kits the week of June 6 and have been shipping out kits (FedEx Ground) as we receive your checks/POs.
Supplemental information is broken out into these pages (click the title; theme is a bit subtle):
🛠 Assembly
PDF copy of the Assembly Guide
Assembly videos from start to finish
PDFs of the Operating Manual and Quick Start guide (new for July!)
Videos demonstrating the operation of the scarecrow
Recordings of some of the sounds the scarecrow makes to let you know its status
An incomplete (I'm sure) list of problems that have been encountered and possible approaches to investigation and (hopefully) fixing it.
Please contact David Brown (david_h_brown@uri.edu) if you have questions!
