RC Lawn Mower

[Dezignah]

Something I stumbled across and thought it was worthy of its own thread.

One of these bad boys would definitely make mowing the lawn fun.

For me it's a kind of boring.

Cool!!

If it could work like the Roomba I'd buy it.  Take me 3 hrs to mow my lawn.  And that's on a riding mower.

ahh i've always wanted to make one but the parts are so expensive. $80 for an esc, $200 for 2 motors, $100 for a battery...
wow.

i don't even have that much grass to mow!!

Why do people take something fun like RC and turn it into WORK ?

[L PLATER]

These have been around for a while.................Price range $700 to $3000

Yes... but it takes away all of the fun from making robots!

Just be happy your not into racing rc's in spec classes.
esc $200
motor $80
batteries $80
tires $50 every 2-3 race weekends inless you tear one
chassies $200-500
servos $60-80
Race fee's
1st class $15
2nd class $10
3rd class $5

+ travel and roar fee's if you race roar. if more ppl just got interested it wouldn't have to be such a overpriced money grab. but since rc is not nearly as popular as it was companies need to spike prices to make a profit..

Wow! 
Who knew aircraft costs less than ground vehicles!
