It is the 14th year the award Guldmyran focuses the attention on an exam work that embodies  Myra Industriell Design 's core values in design. The criteria for Guldmyran are: F or
great courage, creativity, functional innovation, good sense for form
and a humble approach. Demonstrably, the laureate has been "busy as an
ant"!  (Swedish expression, equal to " busy as a bee ")   The
award consists of a golden ant designed by the goldsmith Olle Ohlsson,
a smaller sum of money and a place among the previous laureates.   Myra Industriell Designs's motivation for the award is; " This
year's Guldmyra is a system solution that resonates well within another
system. It is considerate when it comes to answering urging needs, as
well as in its well motivated form decisions. The final product is the
result of a spot-on analysis, excellent problem solving and some nicely
applied sketching methods that move us. "

Alternative 1 is to try and build it into the body. However it might be hard to fit it into the body without making the form too bulky. Maybe the floor of the compartment should be bent a bit to follow the curve of the body.      Alternative 2 is to make the compartment as separate part on top of the robot. This would give the machine a more technical and tool-like look, and would demonstrate the function more clearly. The main body can also be made slimmer since it does'nt have to surround the compartment area. However, the shape will look less dynamic.

I'm having a difficult time trying to make the form feel balanced without making it too bulky. I'm currently in on the idea of making a cut out to show the piston that pushes the seedlings into the ground, so that you can see that the machine is working. I'm also thinking of having a plastic cover on the back of the head, to cover up and protect the hydraulic connectors for the rotator and the piston. I also need to consider where the steam should go through the head, and where to place the IR sensors, proximity sensors etc.
