Grass grows here in the Atlanta area into November. I'm still planning to
prototype for this season.

James, if you're reading: Should be consider a ROBOT/MOBILE tag?

There's one mowbot behavior question I'd like to get on the table: How are you
planning the cutting path? I'm planning on using bumpers to keep the bot in
an enclosed area for now, but I'm wondering if edge sensing, random pattern,
planned path (and how to measure that the path is maintained), or some other
technique is viable. At this point power efficiency is secondary to getting
good cutting coverage.

Any thoughts?

BAJ
