5	The movement speed of the tray should be 2-10km/hr
6	The color of the bot and tray should be black
7	The battery backup of the bot should be 2-3 hours

Problem definition version 1.2 :-

Design a semi-automatic seed sowing machine that sows seeds in trays. The machine should be portable, which is able to accuratly sow the seeds seedling trays, it should be portable and user friendly. Budget to built should not exceed the range Rs 2000-3000 and it should work for 2-3 hours continuosly. The dimensions of the Bot should be 50cm25cm10cm.The movement speed of the tray should be 2-10km/hr.

2.5 Establish Functions

Sl no	Functions
1	The bot will sow the seeds
2	The bot will detect the availability of the trays
3	The bot will store the seeds and water
4	The bot will indicate the process when completed

Problem definition version 1.3 :-

Design a semi-automatic seed sowing machine that sows seeds in trays. The machine should be portable, which is able to accuratly sow the seeds in seedling trays, it should be portable and user friendly. Budget to built should not exceed the range Rs 2000-3000 and it should work for 2-3 hours continuosly. The dimensions of the Bot should be 50cm25cm10cm.The movement speed of the tray should be 2-10km/hr. The bot will sow the seeds first trays accordingly, at standard time intervals. The Bot will detect the availability of the trays and at last it will indicate the user once the process is completed.
