The Alphabet: Gardener Dome, Mars “K”
K is for: Kong
Kong is the main HarvestBot in the dome. His name is derived from the fact that he was built by the King Robotics Plant in Helium Dome. He is fine with the name.
Like most HarvestBots, Kong was made to harvest a wide variety of fruits & vegetables. He can harvest 10 hectares of most vegetables in under 8 hours. He is not programmed or equipped for berries, but can cut grapes. He is not built to harvest grains.
Kong is a rather somber fellow, but does enjoy singing opera arias while he works. He is rumored to be a closet blues fan.
