This is a nice solution: teach the robot once, and use GPS.  You may have to
use a 'strimmer' to do the edges of the grass, but that is a fairly easy
job.

I'd like to try this for a student project I'm involved in next year (not
cutting the grass, just mapping a lab).

We did a little work last year with a GPS sensor (easy to use, data was sent
down an 'RS-232' interface to an 8051: not too much data involved).
However, we had that GPS sensor on loan: I suspect the purchase cost of such
a device would blow my budget.
