Is that because he has already a lawn mower? Or when he goes to purchase a new lawn mower the price is out of the range?
Also, what about the folks that pay for lawn mowers?
For my situation, a robotic lawn mower must cut the grass as good as a pushmower, meaning that the final appearance of the lawn must be as good. The reason that a gasoline powered pushmower makes the lawn look so good is that it cuts the grass to a very uniform height and cuts it off sharply. It does this by creating a strong updraft under the mower deck which pulls the grass up straight and then cuts it off. I have not seen a mower with less than a 5 HP gasoline engine do this effectively.I realize this doesn't matter to everyone. I'm just expressing my personal preference.
Hey Silo xtreme what microcontroller did you used for Smartmow and what programming algorithm? Also what dc motor are you using to cut the grass? I have seen the videos on your blog pretty impressive and the robot is compact too.
