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.

Also, does the "tail" contain the pipe through which the ANFO is pumped into the hole in the stump ? |

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**. |
