Cohousing-L Mailing List: Robot Lawn Mower

[William Johnson (0005638134]

In the Houston area, Lawn Boy has recently been pushing a robot lawn mower.
A few years back, Radio Electronics featured a robot mower by another company
somewhere in the northeast.  

Considering their cost, I would gues these to be in the class of tools which 
cohousers might be able to justify even if most individual families cannot.
Has any cohousing group bought such a mower?
   ... for the community grounds?
   ... as a community project?


BTW, I've only seen two such mowers mentioned. The Lawn Boy mower is solar
powered, mulches, cuts randomly within user-defined boundaries  (user must lay
a guide wire), includes an anti-theft alarm (sounds off if you lift it), and
costs about $2000.  All I know about the other mower is that it costs about
$700-1000 and comes in kit form.
