I want one of these things, the neighborhood kids will be clamoring to mow my yard for free.]]>Feb 13th 2007 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/Feb 13th 2007 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/Feb 13th 2007 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/
You could sell folks the chance to mow your yard from the net!
Get on board while you can folks, and bring your PayPal.

Next step is to drop 'em on the moon and do the same thing to turn a profit, but Larry Niven and a bunch of other bright folks thought of that years ago.]]>Feb 13th 2007 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/
Vibrations alone would render this mower useless after a couple of mows. This is a gasoline mower (5HP)? I see screws flying everywhere.

Current robomowers cut too close to the ground, say, 3.5 inches max. Too low for my tastes. I'd already have one otherwise, to go with Roomba and Scooba.

I can't say that I'd enjoy mowing a lawn. Even if I could do it from the deck. I wouldn't trust anyone else anywhere near it.]]>Feb 13th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/
Hey stupid... How do you think mowers a put together? Besides, ever hear of loctite?]]>Feb 13th 2007 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/
Anyway, I doubt the electronic wheelchair and RC folks are tightening their screws to Snapper specs...too much plastic involved, ya know? Locktite wouldn't help much, unless the screws (internal & external) were tight to begin with, which I doubt.

Don't get me started on heat & gasoline.]]>Feb 13th 2007 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/Feb 13th 2007 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/Feb 13th 2007 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/Feb 13th 2007 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/13/build-your-own-rc-lawnmower-intimidate-neighborhood-dogs/http://www.lawnbotts.com]]>Mar 13th 2007 10:14AM
