If I could build a robot that could do any of my chores in life, making one that could mow the lawn would be right up there on my list of choices. Thanks to KA Home Robotics and a little robot called LawnBott I may be able to enjoy that dream without becoming a mechanical engineer!

LawnBott

With a running time of 4 hours the LawnBott can cover 33,000 square feet per charge. Want to impress the neighbors? Run the near silent LawnBott at night for that fresh cut look every morning. It also features a flat blade that mulches the grass as it cuts and is smart enough to seek shelter in the rain.

All this lawn-cutting goodness comes at a price though, expect to pay $1,749 for the LB2000/Professional.

    This is a great way to take back your weekends and do something fun instead of the obligation of yard work. Dogs like to chase these things as they are a bit of a curiosity, but they are safe for pets and children as they move slowly and get out of the way when they need to.

    Where is everyone getting the 33,000 sq ft per charge? The mower can only maintain a yard that is 33,000 sq ft. It does something between 1/4 and 1/3 of an acre on a charge. Needing to go out and cut the same area multiple times a week to keep the grass at the blade’s height. Though I love my little unit. Kerry’s review of these machines is the best in the world, you can find it on his bamabots.com website at http://www.bamabots.com/lawnbo.....review.htm
