Hello All;
Having spent hours this weekend fertilizing the lawn, I have to wonder
just how hard it would be to make an R/C spreader, using some power wheels
assemblies and a couple of speed controllers. Maybe add a rate gyro to keep
the thing going in a straight line...that sort of thing.
Now there's the tie in we need to really get exposure. The robots have to fertilize
a lawn, and the Nationals can be held at Augusta right before the big golf match
there. Or Disney could sponsor both the National and a mojor golf tourney.
Local regionals would be easy (although the competiiton might have to shift
right a month or two).
Thoughts?
TAF
