First tests of a DIY 4 WD lawn mower. The battery and controller box are temporarily attached to the mower with bungee cords. This is the first journey toward autonomous lawn mower.

  1. hey there, so for 4wd with a sabertooth you can just double up the motor outputs? and change the mix mode? i'm throwing one together to, i have a 2×60 i just got. Thanks in advance!

  2. Nice one q plz
    How u make it turn left or right ?
    Do I reduce the speed on one side and speed up the other side ?

  3. Thank you for sharing this! I am thinking about building one of these for my drone racing track, once the commercial robots are too expensive and I love all things robot and RC. What kind of battery are you using, and how long does it last? What kind of mower – I assume it is battery powered, but would a gasoline mower work? I am thinking of buying a used "normal" mower and adapt it. Would love to hear some advice from you about this.

  4. Those wheels will slip when it rain. U might want to use dolly wheel or go cart for traction. And that will create new problems on mounting the wheels. And the battery is too small which will drain fast unless you're mowing a small lawn.
