So I figured I'll start by saying where I'm at so far. I've been planning this project for several years, making a few adjustments in both what it's eventually going to achieve, and how I'm going to do it.

I now have a fairly concrete understanding of what I will achieve in Phase 1 and how I'm going to do it. I have the mower, I have the electronics, I have the metal needed to weld together a chassis. Now I need to put it together! 

Time is the biggest killer for me as it really only leaves weekends to work on it. I've also recently moved house so am also in the process of settling in. But I figured putting it up here on HaD projects is the best way to keep me motivated as it allows everyone to see my progress (or lack of ) giving me a kick in the butt if needed to get working on it again.
