Perfect if you live in a Greek villa with PGA Tour quality greens. ;) In all honesty, they should make the reverse robot. One that looks exactly the same, but finds deadspots in your lawn and plants/cultivates/heals new grass.

@anodigital Pulling might be a lot to ask (since even humans pulling weeds don't do it right with all their 10 finger dexterity), but conceivably a robot that dispenses fertilizer can also dispense weed killing chemicals accurately.

With a cutting area so small, this will take forever and leave at least half a foot of uncut grass near the boundary lines.

@joshuapinter Cutting area shouldn't matter as long as it can finish the job - even if it requires a re-dock and then gets back at it. Half a foot of uncut grass? I'm not following.

@kristofertm Finishing the job isn't the problem. It's not being able to cut the grass that's close to a fence, etc. Does that make sense?

@joshuapinter Somewhat. Even when I push mow I still need to trim so I see your point that there would still be some manual labor involved. It would great if this had some weed whacker-esque arm that could do a final outside lap and finish / trim.

@kristofertm Exactly. So maybe it helps keep 95% of your grass well trimmed and then you have to go around manually trimming the sides. Similar to a Roomba.

Mowing the lawn is the greatest outdoor activity there ever was. I'm not sure I want a robot doing it for me.

@rueter I know what you mean. Although I like doing it the 1st weekend of spring, then 2nd a little less so, and by summer I'm paying someone to do it for me while I happily do other things.
