I believe my cost was $364 without the cost of the lawn mower.

@electrohacker It is not junk it is a a boat, a trailer and a trampoline. Just normal stuff that you have in a backyard!!

[electrohacker]

you can find mowers for projects like this in the trash, my mower came with electric start and cost me $12 in cleaner, starting fluid, and RTV to get running. the hope is I can start and stop the mower using relays and old servo boards

I love it! I have just started working on my own RC Mower. Looks like I have the same wheelchair you had. How come you made the mower rear wheel drive? Do you have any suggestions for me? What did you use for a microcontroller? Thanks
