...Have Room Bot for the house, Pool Bot for the pool, ...why not get a Lawn Bot for my yard since I don't enjoy doing yard work.. ;D

My neighbor has his robotic lawn mower for a few years now and he loves it. I watched it work for a while and seemed like it does a good job too..

Hmmm...I might replace my cordless battery powered push mower with one when the 5 year upgrade mark approaches again??  ???:

Like I said, my Roombot does a good job:



As well as my Poolbot before it broke:




So perhaps it's time for me to seriously look into a Lawnbot... ???

Something like this should work but then again, in 5 years when it's time for me to upgrade, there's probably something even better and smarter  ???:

That’s a bit much with pattern. Lol

I like to keep them looking full, clean, weed free, and cut weekly. I’ll do edging and blow to tidy up and that’s it.

My best friend reminds me of my nephew...I don't enjoy working on cars either but do so so I'll know for sure it's done right but I have a nephew that loves working on car...If a car part/accessory says, "no assembly required", he actually gets a little disappointed.

I remember one time, he went to Pick-N-Pull with me and his eyes just light up like a kid in a candy shop... ;D

It sure does and it’s good for your soul. Just like a fisherman and his favorite fishing spot.

Michigan Woman Furious After Security Camera Captures Her Robot Lawn Mower Stolen
A Michigan woman was furious after discovering what happened to her robot lawn mower when she checked the security camera outside her home.The CCTV footage, recorded in Battle Creek, Michigan, shows the mower sitting near the roadside in the front yard.A pickup truck then pulls up and stops next to the property. A woman inside appears to hesitate for a moment, seemingly discussing something with the person driving the vehicle.She eventually gets out and walks toward the robot lawn mower.The woman tries to pick up the machine, but appears to struggle with its weight. She pauses for a moment before deciding to try again.This time, she manages to lift the mower and carries it back toward the pickup truck before leaving the scene with it.The footage was shared on Instagram by Sam Willbur, who said the robot lawn mower belonged to her husband and was worth around $700."These lovely folks decided to steal my husbands $700 robot lawn mower," Willbur wrote. "Do your thing internet, stealing from a 100% disabled veteran. What is wrong with people???"The post quickly attracted attention, with some viewers questioning why the mower had been left so close to the road.One commenter suggested the woman may have thought it was being given away, writing: "Don't leave ur stuff literally on the side of the road looks to me your throwing it away."Another person joked: "They thought you was giving it away."But the incident eventually had a happy ending.After the CCTV footage was posted on Instagram, the case was solved and the robot lawn mower was returned to its owners.The security camera captured the entire sequence — from the moment the pickup truck stopped outside the home to the woman's hesitation, her struggle to lift the mower and her eventual decision to take it.
