Nuts
I think the technology shown here is similar to how some golf ball pickers work at driving ranges. What's really cool is how the collecting chambers are emptied at the end.
for the emptying, all that shaking, and getting positioned 'just so' on the ramp so you are over the holes, etc. seemed like a lot work, especially when compared to how easily the nuts are collected. i expected something like driving that rig on a hopper, pulling a lever, and everything falls out. or driving onto a hopper, locking it in place, and the hopper shakes the nuts out.
The noise it makes is so satisfying.

DeleteThat feeling when you could have just put the tarp under the tree...
DeleteSimilar to this ping pong ball picker upper. It's even faster to unload, you just turn it upsidedown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4wNAxppc9c
