If you're interested in advanced lawn care, but not interested in walking around spreading seeds - make a robot to do it for you. Sounds crazy but it can be done by following the instructions by Randy Sarafan. By adding a seed hopper to a tank chassis with some custom-made parts and an Arduino, an intelligent robot that can be programmed with direction and object avoidance is the result. This type of project could also lend itself to fertiliser or just having fun in the yard.
No matter what you do it's completely documented so you can recreate it yourself. And for more, we're on twitter and Google+, so follow us for news and product updates as well.
