Robot Lawn Mower: Fast Forward

The mower at 8X normal speed

Things to notice: If you've seen the original video, you know that the steering is essentially random, but with a turn-right bias when going forward, and a turn-left bias when going in reverse. The strength of the turn bias is adjustable, as is the turn limit. In this video, the turn limits are too generous: at one point, the mower starts running in circles, and I stop to replace a broken turn-limit strap. Later, I tighten the other turn-limit strap.

Do you use this for most of your grass cutting or is it just something you made on your free time and keep to "look at"?

I cut about half of my yard with robot mowers. The front and back yards are surrounded by an electronic fence, so I can use the robots there. The sections between the sidewalk and the street, and a section of the back yard that is outside of the fence, I cut with a push mower. Also, the robots leave a few inch strip at the perimeter, which I cut with a push mower.

@LoudMouthTim He made it that way to prevent it from going over the same path over and over again. This isn't an remote controlled lawnmower, it does the job on its own.

[LoudMouthTim]

That is so retarded. Why are you swerving all over the yard instead of cutting in nice straight lines and doing the job efficiently? IDIOT!!!!!

Push the 1911 button and the music will fit. :)

The background music was unfitting. If you ever re-do this vid, try Yakety Sax/Benny Hill theme for background music :D
