Interesting project!

I pollinate my tomatoes (if I don't want hybrid) by tapping branch with my finger right under the flower. Branch and flower are shaken, pollen is released. I wonder if it can be done mechanically and controlled by Arduino or PI. Like shaking the whole plant or dragging a net over it so all the branches are shaken.

Nice update.

It looks like we need to start preparing bee astronauts to go along.

Pollination in space is an interesting problem, never even thought of that. I'm glad VS Code worked out for you and I'm excited to follow your project!
