Kendall’s lawn bot

Wednesday night after our bible study, our buddy Kendall told us he had made a remote control lawn mower.  Of course we all wanted to see it.  The following video arrived in my email yesterday.  We were humbled.  Now are now waiting to see how he is going to computerize the thing.  Maybe he can use and Arduino card. These kind of projects have to be helped by the fact that there are TWO engineers in that household. Congratulations on an awesome project Kendall–you win!!!

The kids ACT test is tomorrow at St. Augustine’s College. Lorena and I enjoyed just hanging out together for a few hours last year while the kids took the test. We plan to do that again tomorrow.

    Best of luck to the kids…I love those tests that you can’t really prepare for. You either know it by now or not…much less pressure than the CLEP I am sure.

    Love the LawnBot! I will have to show Peyton this when he gets home from his Gateway to Technology class. He will be doing a module in Robotics this semester using RoboPro.

    I had never heard of RoboPro until you wrote about. I Googled it and looked at some of the YouTubes. It is Awesome. That looks like it will be SUPER fun for Peyton.

    Thanks for the mention, Ken. 🙂 I have to give credit to Norman Santos and my brother in law Daniel too, they were a big help during the project (which isn’t actually complete (are they ever?)). 😉
