Remote Controlled RC Lawnmower
Posted 10 months ago by eric in Household Items | Submit idea in this category
While standing on my deck talking about RC helicopters and airplanes, I had an awful segue into being too lazy to cut the grass. Then it dawned on me, they made the Roomba (remote controlled vacuum), why not apply the same concept to mowing grass?

It'd be dangerous so there'd need to be tons of safe guards including remote emergency-off button and bumpers so you don't climb up onto rocks, but slap some outdoor big rubber tires on a covered spinning blade and bam - the lazy, beer drinker's perfect landscaping weapon!!

Sounds like a good idea to me! I would consider mono-filament wire instead of metal blades and a huge "hoola-hoop" bumper manage collisions and prevent access to the dangerous bits beneath.

eric (7 months ago): Dunno if wire or string would be strong enough for most lawns, even if it were you'd probably need an auto-feed button on the remote for when the string broke. Def outfit it with some serious bumpers and oversized wheels, maybe a flag so you could see it at a distance.
