Hey handful of people who are wondering what has happened the the page! I have shifted my focus away from building a mower while the weather allows me to not have to worry about mowing so much. Every time I would push that mower it would make me want to work on the robot more--but the motivation is not in my face right now... Don't worry, I will no doubt loath mowing my yard, will still want nice lines in it, and will want to make a robot do it for me.
I will be back, working with a better understanding of ROS. I hope to take a few months of study with the construct sim site (not sponsored BTW). I have been thinking about doing a some sort of crowd funding for getting this thing built (to help pay for the learning stuff, I will work on the page as long as there are people looking at the page).
Let me know below if you have any ideas about how the page can be improved and how the mower can be built better.
