I would like to build a robotic base to push a snowplow, mow the lawn, and have an ability to mount other tools.

To test out a few ideas, I decided to build a cheap testbed to see what works as I envision, and what does not.

The development of the robot proceeds the posts by quite a bit. It could be that Webmaster is not my thing, but the files do eventually get posted. Version 1.0 was posted on Instructables, though it has improved since then.

I'm finally cutting grass with this machine. it can use a little more fine tuning, but since it works, I'll try posting the build log up to now. As you may have noticed, documentation is not my forte. Summer has taken some of my time I still have a lot to post about that, but I decided to work on the robot for a while first.
