This is a rebuild of an RC lawnmower i built several years ago,
but using an electric mower this time. It pretty much operates
the same way an RC car / battlebot type vehicle does with just
two opposable motors and casters for front wheels.
In the future I plan to outfit the mower with FPV so that i can
drive it from inside the house, and possibly do automation even
further down the road.
Here’s a list of my hardware:
– (2x) 35 A-h 12V lead acid batteries
– 275-Amp battery disconnect switch
– Turnigy 9x 2.4 GHz transmitter / reciever (100 mW tx power, i think)
– Sabertooth 2×32 dual brushed ESC (32 Amp / 33.6V max.)

– (2x) 80mm 12V fans
