Additional info
As it passes through the barn, Vector performs two tasks: it picks up feed and replenishes it when necessary. During each pass, the feed level sensor detects how much feed is on the feed table. On the basis of this, the robot determines whether and how much feed should be dispensed - you don't have to worry. The only manually configurable setting is the height of the feed on the feed table. The Vector system not only measures the amount of feed, it also picks it up. So the right amount of feed stays within your cows reach.
