Veggie Coaster is an cable car line with saplings which, after the necessary preparations are complete, will move around like cable cars. In order to take maximum advantage of used parts and avoid purchasing ready-made products, the structure of the cable car line was based on bicycle parts, including a wheel, chains, sprockets, etc. It is powered by a screw gun connected to one of the wheels using a chain drive. The cable car line is controlled remotely by way of a system consisting of an Arduino Uno +4 x Relay Shield and a RFM12B receiver. Hanging on the line are flower pots made of plastic bags welded together using a clothes iron. Using this cable car line, you can share your plantation with your neighbours in your apartment block; it can also be utilized to make an optimum use of the available space for plant cultivation.
