This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

i'm more worried about giving robots literal weapons but that's also a very good point too.

Doesnt look battery powered so that would only help it. The controller is likely sealed against weather too

It didn't. The guy was still there to get the robot to its location and make sure it was working all right and I'm guessing he still had other maintenance to do in the park beyond mowing. But he did get to stay out of the sun on a hot day.
