Tired of wrenching on the 442, mowing season is here.. help me name this project!

[real57vetteguy]

I know its not a pro-touring car, but I felt like you guys would appreciate this one. Two years ago I flipped a John Deere on my steep banks and luckily walked away with a few broken ribs. A good friend and I decided its time to be able to mow thickets, rough areas, and steep slopes safely. This is electric driven, with a 20 HP gas engine for blade power. It will actually climb right up a wall. adjustible deck height, push button start and a fail safe switch on the remote to shut it down in case of an accident. What would you guys name it?

Are those windshield wiper motors driving the wheels? Do you have a wiring schematic of the drive? Will the engine charge enough to not kill the battery?

iMowbot before apple gets it.

The drive is accomplished via twin wheel chair motors. I could have incorporated and alternator for the charging system but as it is right now it will mow for about 12 hours before needing a charge.

Yeah, I was just about to say that. He has an iMower. All that is missing is a camera for facetime and Siri to tell a joke. I would patent it before we see robotic lawn mowers popping up in the next few years

Thanks for all the help guys, here are a few videos of it finished and in action!
