The Robomow Diaries: Robot lawnmower powers through soggy conditions on inaugural run

2016-07-08
today is a big day at my house I'm taking the robo-moe on its maiden voyage cutting my front yard now we're going to do a full review at the end of about a month of testing but today I just wanted to capture some things in the robo-moe Diaries my yard is embarrassingly long so I can either cut the yard and the edge like do the edges and there's also the option to just cut the yard without edging the yard so I want to look nice so I'm going to have an edge I'm going to hit go alright there it goes ok so it went straight to the edge of my yard and oh my gosh there's a stick there alright went over the stick easy piece and now my video producer Tyler has some drone camera footage going so right here is where you put the wire that the robo-moe follows right so it can't get like right up on the like the very very very edge oh look at that yeah so all this it did not cut because it's supposed to be a certain distance away from the sidewalk so it looks like it's coming after me I wonder what it will do okay just miss me now I think it's interesting that the Robo mode doesn't I don't know it's not like making nice lines you know like how a regular person would mow it's just kind of darting off on its own oh it just uh it can't handle that grass it's avoiding it it said nah not today now not another thing that I can tell is definitely impacting this grass is not entirely dry it's a little wet and as you can see on those wheels it's kind of certain to clump up so I might need to like clear those wheels a little bit so I get some more traction so after 40 minutes of mowing the yard the robo-moe basically said you know what girl I need to go back to the base station and recharge now at first I was a little you know dubious but once I flipped over the robo-moe and looked at the underside I saw that there was a lot of wet grass that had accumulated underneath the robo-moe and around the mowing blades oh my gosh that is a heck of a lot of wet trimmings so kudos to the robo-moe for working against these really wetter than they should be conditions doing a little bit of work in my yard but then having the sense to know hey girl I need to stop for the day so check back with us next week for the robo-moe Diaries where we give the robo-moe another world explore some more features and see if it will finally mow all of my yard
