Sad News..... π
Added 2024-11-21 08:14:09 +0000 UTCOh I'm super looking forward to modding the new David Mowie!
Now you folks get the full widescreen cinematic version of my video!!
Note my mum's academy award winning performance!! (she is super delighted about getting David Mowie as they've been struggling with their lawn a bit!)
You all know how awesome I think the Luba range are - such an amazing innovation! However, I do always say to never buy them full price - just wait for the off season sales!
I think I got one of the last Luba 2s in the UK and they're sold out just about everywhere except US/Canada now - super popular, but just in case you're US/Canada-based and want to get one (which you do!), then link below for the Black Friday Discount!

Oh and do let me know and I can send you any files for modding it yourself - we could have a 'mod off'!

I loved that programme!

2024-11-23 12:01:46 +0000 UTCItβs an awesome video nevertheless and we can hear the music in our heads anyway!

2024-11-23 11:58:24 +0000 UTCOh, you can imagine I'm going to have a literal field day with the lawn printing ability next year!!! My ambition is to have a symbol visible from space permanently if I can work out when Google Maps refreshes their images!
Hands on Katie
2024-11-23 11:53:26 +0000 UTCI WISH I could use copyrighted music!! I could make the most awesome video!!

2024-11-23 11:52:31 +0000 UTCIf you did get one, and still have issues with stray picnickers, you could mow a pattern saying "Get off my lawn!" into the grass...

2024-11-22 22:01:15 +0000 UTCSafety of people, I can really vouch for this - even the Luba 1 nailed this totally, it's just got layers and layers of sensors, I actually have no idea how you could injure yourself. Eg proximity sensors mean it avoids obstacles, then bumper sensors too, then if you lift the device in any way or the wheels move up, it locks and stops the motor immediately. Then the blades are just little loose blades that fold back on impact (think of old Flymo blades), so I could strongly vouch on this side (the Luba 2 adds object recognition and more, so I'd say it'd take astonishing effort to even mildly injure yourself!). If you're meaning you might have thieving picnickers, then first point applies I guess. Although one extra point, you can naturally schedule for any time day or night, so you could pick a suitable hour to avoid this. But worst case, I'd recommend what I often do - sit with a glass of bubbly in the sun and watch as your loyal worker mows the whole plot, then take the credit for the beautiful stripes and lawn patterns from all your neighbours and visitors.... π€π€£

2024-11-22 08:22:12 +0000 UTCThanks for that reply. For safety even though the videos show it avoiding obstacles I think I'd still prefer to at least have a fence around the perimeter just to avoid interaction with people. We've even had people having picnics on our grass. It looks like it might be a public park. I so want one though.

2024-11-22 07:55:39 +0000 UTCAnd I'll need to do a video where I demo it by smashing the side window by mistake.... π€£
Hands on Katie
2024-11-22 07:30:41 +0000 UTCIt's got 4G security tracking and some also just add airtags under the housing. So basically if someone did pinch it, you'd know where it was and it'd be registered to your account. It's also got a camera you can view through your phone, so I haven't set it up yet, but you might even be able to trigger recording too!
Hands on Katie
2024-11-22 07:30:06 +0000 UTCI've always worried about how easy it would be for someone to kidnap (lawn nap?) one of these. Our 7/8th acre isn't fenced and has roads on two sides (Pi shaped lot (no raspberries anymore)). Someone could just stop and hit the ESTOP button and cart it away?

2024-11-22 07:19:49 +0000 UTCLove to see a CyberLuba - just make it too big for the garden π€£

2024-11-21 19:10:30 +0000 UTCI'm thinking of a CyberLuba design already!

2024-11-21 10:14:17 +0000 UTCShame about David Mowie. He was a Hero(s), especially Under Pressure but itβs time for some Changes. The new one looks very high tech, welcome to E-Lawn Musk! π€

2024-11-21 09:40:27 +0000 UTCThat's a remarkable tough lawn mower
Simon
2024-11-21 09:32:59 +0000 UTCIt's an optional extra, but I don't bother, if you look closely you'll see there's some light charring around the front bumpers, but other than that, he seems fine....

Simon
2024-11-21 09:03:24 +0000 UTCIt's relatively cheap, it's more the fines for atmospheric disturbance, noise and disposal of radioactive ores that really ramp up...

2024-11-21 08:52:28 +0000 UTCOooh I haven't thought of a HAL-themed device - that's a good one!!
Hands on Katie
2024-11-21 08:52:06 +0000 UTCLithobraking FTW! :D Awesome video, the special effects are fantastic! Continuing with the space theme, you could call it "Heuristically Autonomous Lawnmower" (or HAL) 9001? Although I'd start to worry when it denies you entry to the garage...

2024-11-21 08:46:33 +0000 UTCAwesome movie! (is there no end to your skills?) Gave me a much needed giggle or two! ππ I'm rubbish at naming things so no suggestions from me.

2024-11-21 08:26:26 +0000 UTCHow much of the price is the unusual delivery method? Great video all round
