This is a truly excellent machine! You can look into getting one here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/606628954/smart-control-beast-vacuum-mower-for-challenging-yard?ref=e2v6ru
It would be cool if the battery cover was also a solar panel that could recharge the battery. I think I'll wait until someone makes a robotic / remote controlled reel mower, for those of us that want a low mow.
Great review! What is the MAX range away from the controller? I have a DJI FPV drone with goggles and plan to tape it down to the top and use the camera to drive it. Cheers!
That's a great idea. I don't know what the max range is, but as you saw in my review, it got so far away that you would not be able to see what you're doing. So taping a drone to it to use it's camera is a great idea.
it looks like the only thing it's missing is a camera so you can see it's point of view from the remote. they could do all kinds of cool things with this like make one with tank tracks or a fully auto one like a roomba sort of thing for your yard. i remember in a 12 or 13 year old issue of make magazine someone converted a traditional gas push mower into an rc mower like this one.
They are working on making an autonomous version that will mow all by itself, and they are working on the camera idea. Stay tuned, these things will happen! And yes!, that was all of our dreams back in the 70's and 80's, making a remote controlled lawn mower. It's finally here! It is very good and very fun!

How do you set the pin code on this machine?
Keep going with those unique videos.

Can you mow with your scag with your rollbar is all the way up?
Just got mine for review and instead of letting me pick a password for the remote it's asking me for a current password. Any ideas where to find this?
It's 888888
Really cool. Do you think it would cut thicker grasses like black mustard or thistles? I'm surprised it almost works as a brush mower!
Yes it would. It's crazy strong! Judge for yourself in the torture test part of the video.

Do we have to leave the black cover up when no bag is in or can we put it down so grass isn't flying everywhere (without bag)?
Yes, it can be down with the mulch plug installed. It's a 3-in-1 mower, bag, mulch, or rear discharge. You're talking about mulching.

Mike, what do you think of the idea about starting your own podcast? I would watch them and a lot of your followers would too all of us would.
What does the c2 button do?Thanks!
C2 button does a reset, like if the sensors stop it or it's otherwise confused somehow. Sets it back in action. Doesn't happen often.
What in the world! Is it a BIRD? Is it a PLANE? 🤣
You gotta try this man!
Let me guess at what point Mike you pass out from all the fumes from that lawnmower lol
I think yiu might want to get the blades sharpened after this
Hey Mike, I just had a brainstorm an idea. Why don’t you ask your wife to mall with it get a woman’s perspective
