So I stopped working on this once I didn't make it through to the next round of the Hackaday Prize. Bad form I know, but I guess I just lost the motivation to keep working on this project when I didn't really need it anymore at home. Some background, previously I had a yard that I hated mowing etc. but now that I've moved from there (early in the project) and have a yard that I can comfortably mow using the ride-on, there's just no urgency around this project anymore. At least until I get my garden going again for some of the other features (egg collecting, fruit collection).

So where does this leave RoboWillie? I'm wanting to finish it, but there are also heaps of other started projects that I've got going in progress, and many more that I want to start. So while I will eventually pick up the tools for this one, I'm going to finish off a few others first until I get my workshop built again and have the tools available to finish it off.

I think that the next project I'm going to complete is my automated vertical garden project. Alternatively might go with the robotic arm I have been designing (which could eventually end up with a brother being mounted on RoboWillie). I might also end up putting a few more of the projects that I'm working on up to hackaday.io so I and others can track progress etc. as a build log.
