Hey @pelch :slight_smile:

Is there any video to see how it runs? :smiley:

Great! Simple, but robust :slight_smile:

Add these to the main post! The end result is really well done - can you add the videos to the main post and give some additional details like the parts used for the drivetrain, tracks etc. ?

As Johnny 5 clearly said… “Input! Need more input!”… perhaps a parts list? Curious to know more about the tracks and motors.
Rather than include as an attachment, might want to upload this to your YouTube page: VID_20191123_180512.mp4
I took the liberty of adding the videos to your project description.

We’re asked regularly about what it takes to design and build a robotic lawn mower or snow plow, and here you are with a “2-in-1”. We encourage you to post as much as you’d like about lessons learned, product choices etc.

Nice bot, I’m interested in how you are using the alternator? Is it actually in use? Are you using it to power the electronics off of the lawnmower engine?
