Parts list:
Total cost: ~$60. Not having to pH, add nutes, add calmag, etc. individually to like 10 individual cans of water: priceless!
Skip this. It is going to fugg up on you and you wont be able to fix it. You got a few things to automate. It aint so hard. Most of it you need anyhow. Last item is the most computer automation you need.
. Simple to set water timer. Buy the parts you need in bulk if you have a lot of plants. Drainage also needs to considered. Water can be collected and moved with a condensation pump. Low Depot has them.
A simple heater with thermostat set for 70 will turn on as needed.
Get a calendar, set up a schedule for 8 weeks harvest. Plan to be home for harvest, cleanup and replanting. You might want to try autoflowers. They need less interaction. Hit me up if you have any questions.
Do you have any info on your irrigation setup?
I've put together a simple one using this kit and a small pump, but I'm looking to keep making upgrades on it.
Not sure if this is too small or simple for you but I just installed this in my covered raised flowerbed. I just ran the line across the roof and attached the little orange pieces (misters) every few feet or so, works fantastic.

This doesn't make any sense to me... What people want to grow their own food but don't actually like gardening and are also willing to pay significantly more than if they just purchased their produce?
The scale is too small for there to be any positive returns during the life of the unit, especially if you ever need to replace parts or do maintenance. And better alternatives already exist! You can achieve almost the same thing on a 3x larger scale^1 for 2% of the cost^2 and less time:
You'll have to plant the seeds yourself, but on a small scale that is such a nominal task it is hardly an advantage to the FarmBot, especially because you still have to load seeds and attachments into the FarmBot (and clear out the inevitable jams). And the time to set up the landscaping fabric and irrigation system is almost certainly less than setting up and programming the FarmBot, with less maintenance and much fewer potential points of failure.

^1 The Farmbot Genesis kit has a 4.5 m^2 compared to the ~14 m^2 provided by the landscaping fabric.
^2 Automated irrigating and weed prevention system from Amazon:
No need to drill anything, you can get a 1/4 inch drip irrigation set from amazon for like $25. comes with the atomizers & drip heads and splitters and all.
Example... not hocking the product.. just the first one that came-up on the search.

I believe there is also a spongy slow drip type tube/hose out there as well I just cant remember the name of it. "Worst case" you poke some holes in some 1/4 inch vinyl tubing using a needle to get the same effect.
