Hey Chris, thanks for the ping and link to your other articles! This one came in handy right away as I have one of the little beasties too, and I need to get it ready for the new season! I bought those metal spike wheels to help it get better traction, and going to mount a small water tight case on the back to stick a GPS receiver in so I can track it around the yard since I am curious about how it moves around cutting the yard. Also plan to stick a little more weight in the case to aid with that traction thing. Cheers! -Jim-
Thanks for checking out some of my other writing Jim! Glad you're a fellow robot lawnmower fan. It is a fun hobby getting these little vehicles ready for work isn't it? Sounds like you've got a great setup. Right now I'm trying to decide if it's worth making some mods like that to my Landroid or if it just makes sense to give up on the grass in favor of a more drought-resistant rock garden. Maybe I can still program a robot vacuum to clean my rocks so I can keep tinkering with it, haha
