I'm certainly nervous about releasing an autonomous device with a cutting
edge flying around!

The only time I use a catcher on my yard (lawn is too lofty a description
for the green mess around our house :-) is when I haven't mowed for a while
and the clippings are too long to leave lying around. This shouldn't be a
problem with Mowbot because it's cutting all the time.
Ooh, nasty thought that just occurred. How does the 'bot know to come in
out of the rain. I'm in Brisbane, and when it rains, it RAINS. Do we
simply (!?!) make the whole thing weather resistant/proof. Do we give it a
rain detector?

Where have I seen that before? :-) I added the (c) on following some of
the discussion in the "Legal" thread. Never hurts to cover yourself.
