  • While I never had one I remember following the build page, and I was crushed when the price point was far too high for me to even consider getting one. However I did ride around with a carputer for some time before an affordable commercial head unit with CD/MP3 capability became available.

    It was an off the shelf IBM desktop in the backseat, powered by an inverter, and controlled by a numeric keypad stuck to the center console with some velcro. Getting music on it required hauling the whole thing in the house, but at the time it felt pretty awesome to have pieced together a solution that worked.


  • My curiosity got the best of me, here’s the link to Wright: https://www.wrightmfg.com/products/mowers/commercial/stand-on/robotic-zk/

    The Mower

    • 40HP Vanguard Engine
    • Hydro-Gear Smartec Drive-By-Wire 12cc
    • 15.5 Gallon Fuel Capacity
    • Centimeter-level accurate RTK GPS
    • Commercial-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
    • Depth-sensing object detection cameras
    • Rock-solid wireless emergency stop
    • Remote control mode
    • Live Greenzie support: Call for support while in the field for real-time fixes.

    The Software

    • Mow the boundary once, and the mower fills in the rest
    • Remembers maps and can repeat them when you come back. Just place it in the previous boundary.
    • Create no-go zones that will be saved with your map to avoid hitting hard-to-see obstacles like drain covers or small pipes sticking out of the ground.
    • Record and repeat: Record yourself mowing the entire property, and the mower will replicate your movement.
    • Manage the mower with the controller or a smart device in real-time.
    • Advanced fleet support: See how your fleet is performing. Replay entire jobs, not just a dot on the map.
    • Run multiple units at once.
    • Set the stripe angle (for those stunning cross-hatch patterns)
    • Seamless automatic updates
