Mowbot Mailing List
Sorry, the mowbot list is closed.
History
The Mowbot mailing list was created in 1996 for the discussion
of the design and construction of a robot lawnmower.
In its heyday, the list had over 100 members who exchanged
lots of useful information.
Many of the contributors, like me, lacked the necessary
engineering skills or tools to actually make anything useful,
but some members shared their experiences with building
real mowbots. The rest of us found plenty to talk about!
As time went by, all the major problems had been soundly
thrashed out and the list got quieter.
Eventually, by about 2001, the list was effectively dead.
I was sorry to see it fade away like that without producing
a set of plans for others to use,
but nevertheless, it did provide me, and I hope others,
with a great deal of entertainment while it lasted.
There are now several commercial mowbots which can be purchased
in garden centres for quite reasonable sums of money,
so it possible to own your own mowbot without the effort!
