1) Fit electric lawnmowers with a simple "BEAM" style photo-tropic/obstacle avoiding nural net.
2) Fit mowers with solar panels to lengthen battery life and re-charge cells if charge falls below "Mow" level.
3) Release a set of these, say 5 or 10 in a huge recently mown area. Allow to run for a
week, maybe two.
4) Take arial photographs, and exhibit at high-profile gallery.
5) Charge rich art patrons $5000 to let the robots loose on thier lawns, thus producing an "original peice" a commision as it were.
6) Profit!

+ Also, by mowing the expansive lawns of the rich and famous into different heights, patterns and designs could become visable from the family jet or helecopter. |

It'll never work. Everyone knows that step 1 is:
Collect underpants. |

Ah, another magic "rich idiots" idea - if you don't have any idea how you can make money off this, please be honest. It's not as though this place is asking people to be practical. |

Lawn mower art, the artistic kind as opposed to the random kind, is Widely Baked at baseball stadiums. |

Ok, fess up: did you think of this after I suggested putting
mowers under your giant robotic stonehenge? |

[bungston] hey I gave you credit, kind of... see my annotation to the Stonehenge idea. Thanks by the way *grin*. |

--I've always found it curious that the really geometrically interesting crop circles were first observed just after farm equipment became capable of autonomous navigation. Mayhap there are a fair number of artistically inclined farmer-navigators out there? |

I notice that FarmerJohn (who would
appear to fit the profile) is keeping

Someone's got a giant robotic stonehenge here? How come I never get to see the good stuff? |

Yes, it's not far off. You can visit it next door in the culture: art: sculpture section. Admittance is free (unlike the non-giant non-robotic stonehenge), but you are asked to leave a voluntary annotation to help with the upkeep. |

It would be much cheaper to simply hire nearly incompetent manual labor to mow the lawns. It would be perhaps a good job for the mentally handicapped or habitually drunk. |
