No one likes doing yard work. It’s tedious and leaves those awful grass stains on your clothes. So, why not build a robot that enjoys cutting the grass as much as you enjoy building robots? Robotshop.se is providing all the essentials needed to build your very own autonomous mowing robot.  A complete lawnbot kit comes with everything you need for around $700, making it one of the most expensive lawnmowers you’ve ever owned. At least it’ll be one of your own making, bringing with it a whole new feeling of self-accomplishment and a nice looking lawn to boot.

The beautiful month of May is now upon us and you know what that means! Lots of warm, hot days eating ice cream, swimming in the pool and mowing the goddamned lawn. Lucky for you, radio controlled gadgets are becoming increasingly popular.

Enter the radio controlled lawn mower. Instead of busting your ass mowing your grandmother’s three acre property, you can kick back on the deck and enjoy a cold brew from your Portal Beer Stein. You can build your own for about $450 in parts or you can pay your little brother $5 and promise not to give him a wedgie. Whatever works best for you.
