Got a tracked RTK yard bot running laps. Anyone has experience with these for DIY mods?
I recently bought tracked RTK yard bot to handle the mowing, that’s about 2 acres. Not going to lie, the initial boundary mapping was a bit of a pain, and watching it operate is pretty slow compared to my old gas mower.
But now that it's actually running its perimeter laps almost every day, I can’t help to think what else it can do while it runs its laps.
Since it already has the RTK navigation running autonomously, I kind of want to add more functionality to the unit while it is moving. I’m not trying to do any crazy engineering that instantly fries the board, but I was thinking about a few simple weekend mods, i suppose it can be done with zero engineering experience right?
**Roaming Wi-Fi:** Strap a weatherproof mesh node to the top so my network extends to the back acre. So I can get wifi even when I am monitoring the mower
**Perimeter Camera:** Mount a battery operated camera on its back. Extra security, yeah nah?
Has anyone here succeeded in modifying these newer modular yard bots? For context the model I'm running is a Yarbo, so the base is heavy-duty and built to swap attachments, but I’m trying to figure out the safest way to add stuff to it without completely voiding the warranty. That’s all I can think of right now but you guys are super creative, please give me ideas! I want to fully utilize this moving unit. My ideas weren’t the most useful tbh, but they seem easily executable.
