Epsilon m00
On this page
The Epsilon m00 is a cowlike agricultural robot in Zile City. It moves through vegetation, consumes plant growth and deposits fully charged batteries. Its unhurried work is part of the city's agricultural life.
Appearance and operation
An m00 has a cowlike body and a faceless head with an LED display. While it eats, the display reads "m00." A chime sounds and the display changes to "m01" before the machine stops over a metal plate. It ejects a charged battery from its rear with a magnetic clunk, returns to "m00," and resumes grazing.
The internal charging process and the amount of energy produced have not been specified.
Place in the setting
The machines appear on Leah's farm in the animated pilot Reckless Too. Their ordinary maintenance helps establish the working life of an agricultural district alongside the city's industrial environments.
A developing episode, Zero-1, involves a herd whose strange movements threaten another agricultural area. The contrast shows how a familiar machine can belong to everyday life and become a practical problem when its behavior changes.
