Nice that looks like: lawn-mower from space.

All of a sudden a green monster is sitting in my chair. The IPS displays on those look awesome.
I actually have considered that. For what I pay on monthly lawn maintenance I could pay for it in a few years. But, not sure if the homeowner assoc would give me a hassle. I'm also looking into getting solar panels to bring down my electric bill a bit also. Since I pretty much use the most electric (A/C) when the sun is shining brightly. BOb |

Search for "Ambrogio L50" for more info. *edit* I get no sound from this 5 minute vid of robot lawnmower. It's like watching grass not grow. It looks like the sound isn't really necessary. Last edited by Wetdogeared; 04-08-2010 at 10:34 AM. |

I suppose it works similarly to the pool-cleaning robots, and yes, they are all over the place. My parents have one for their pool. It does end up covering most of the surface after a while.

The difference is you don't end up with lines in a pool. If I remember correctly cleaning a big pool is hard work so I totally get why someone would get a robot to to this job. As for cutting grass I prefer to do it myself but than again I don't have that much grass to cut. I do however wish I had an electric lawn mower.

LOL.
I did that when I was 13 or 14. We had a HUGE backyard and I had to mow the darn thing with an electric mower. |

![]() I really don't like the tire marks all over the place. They look like there's been a wheelchair soccer match on that lawn... The only kind left fer me! ![]() I have a multi purpose 20" corded electric lawnmower. It cuts grass with a rotating helical scisor and I can change heads on it to; a brush head to take care of leaves and pebbles in the driveway, a thatch removing head and a soil aerating head. |
