Yummy - Grass. by ladymagpie

Yummy - Grass.

Well I mention this yesterday, meet "Mowbot", our friendly grass eater that just gets on with it without any help. It is the robotic mower that automatically cuts the pitch of my Forest Green Rovers football club.

The groundsman can programme it to cut in various ways to leave different patterns in the grass. Once it's going it decides when it full and goes back to a place to empty the grass box itself and also if the batteries are going low, it returns to the point were it plugs itself in for a recharge.

I forgot to mention. if the robot has a problem then it sends a text message to the groundsman.

It doesn't make a cup of tea or vacuum the home though. I will get round to looking at your pics later as I'm off to the surgery for my flu jab.
Gosh how fantastic. A new one to me. A big Fav.

I've never seen one of these; I'll be keeping an eye out for a future model that vacuums!

We could do with one of those. It doesn't look very big but I should think that's because it's on a football pitch rather than a small front garden!

It's quite the cute little robot. Fav for that beautiful green grass!

My school needs this - every lunch break when we sit behind our football pitch there is a pretty big loud tractor who mows the grass and disturbs iur silence :(

What a smart mowbot. I was given a Roomba last Christmas by my Sister. I suspect she was desperate for a gift. It vacuums. It seemed okay until it got stuck under a very heavy armoire. We had to life the armoire to get it out. Haven't used it since.

This is very interesting! Do you know how big the robot is? Thanks for sharing it.

I think it looks tiny but it is huge then and amazingly clever - thanks for sharing.
