Anyone out there have a working mowbot that they would like to share
specs on? I am currently working on one utilizing the following:
Power: 12v 5A battery
Drivetrain: Two car power window motors with worm gear.
Cutting blade: Nylon blade adapter intended for use on string trimmers.
Cutting motor: Not sure yet, but probably a car heater fan motor or
similar.
Brains: PIC Microprocessor
Grass cutting pattern: Random
Obstacle avoidance: ??? Suggestions??? Probably a combination of buried
wire for perimeter sensing and touch sensors to avoid obstacles in the
middle of the yard.
Seem reasonable?
