My husband bought some motors from a power wheelchair and mounted them onto a lawn mower he got for free through the app NextDoor and plugged it into an RC receiver. He can now mow the lawn remotely. We realize that this is not a new concept and that their are remote controlled mowers that already exist. We just wanted to show that creating something like this is possible. See below for a list of items he used to do this.
