I’d like to see an LR3 with a built in coffee maker, and maybe a toaster. Thank you.

I would like to make it about 30’x40’. I am tired of paying non-robots to mow my lawn.

I have to believe you’ve seen this already, but…

I’ve been wanting an ultra efficient watering system, that I figure could double as a mower. That might have to be the next project. Autonomous lawn butler with water and power umbilical.

Battery power, and an directionally controlled laminar flow fountain to deliver the water to a funnel on the top of the mobile cutting/watering head and you can eliminate the umbilical.

That would be awesome! So two robots Laminar Lenny, who squirts water to the butler when needed
and some sort of lawn butler, butler Bill, that gently trims and waters at the same time. Butler Bill would have a drooling problem that we could take advantage of.

Maybe you could modify a sprinkler with a gimbal to shoot the water over to the robot so that it can water the grass.
That just sounds like watering with extra steps.

But it’s the extra steps that make it a fun thought exercise.
All I can say I’m very disappointed, and with the greatest of respect that’s an engineer’s solution to the problem. It’s a sort of band aid solution which doesn’t address the root cause.
Faced with the same problem, I got rid of the lawn.

you could stop watering the lawn. All it takes is a little time, then you can stop mowing too!

Thanks for the advice, everyone. But I have my heart set on a MowRider.

This seems like a perfect fit for the pillar method these guys use. I saw them at the last maker faire I went to. https://www.goliathcnc.com/product/overview/ It drives itself but uses to tethered pillars to keep track of the actual movements. Heck use them to feed in the power and a small water line and we have a winner.

As far as I am concerned we are on topic, 2022, maybe we will have a yard robot. Why rule it out.
