These robots would be about the size of a mouse. A series of rotary cutting disks would be placed at the front, with radar used to sense material. The front would have ball-shaped wheels, and there would be a tail connected to the computer and power source. The radar would detect nearby wood,
and the robots would turn on their cutters and move in the direction of the wood.
A powerful fan would be pointed at the stump to blow away sawdust.

Radar: "Two small tree trunks, bearing 283 degrees, range
1137mm."

How about GM & selectively bred giant termites instead?
can't see anything going wrong there.. |

Cue predation by selectively bred giant numbats*, pursued in
their turn by selectively bred giant quolls**. |
