Is your idea/suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.

My plants suffer when I am away from home. I don't have pets, but I am sure they would suffer as well if you don't feed them for a couple of weeks.

The robot is supposed to find and water plants with a watering can. The robot has to fill the pet’s feeding dish with food and water. Finally the robot navigates back to the recharging station.

I dont see what skills this challenge should test that are not aleady in another challenge. I do like the context of this challenge it seems like a real usecase. (safe for the fact that pets probably need more than just food and water when you go on holiday)

Could be a replacement for serving breakfast (pouring, placing food bowl?)

But handling a watering can sounds much harder than pouring a milk bottle and not all robots are able to reach the floor. The scoring does not suggest that serve breakfast is too easy :sweat_smile:
