DIY Robotic Lawnmower
Posted February 14, 2012 by Chris
“A plywood chassis is equipped with the cutting motor attached to a inox 300 x 25 x 1.5 mm metal plate. There are 4 x 12 V reductor motors, each one equipped with a children toy wheel. An internal 12V 4Ah Dryffit rechargeable battery power it. A front bumper (in wood and gray plastic) can move and actuate 2 switches: when robots meets an obstacle, it can avoid it. Hard to program microprocessor? complex computer? No! just few relays: simple and no bugs!”
