Problem and Solution
![Page 7: Grassinator1300 Senior Design 1 Midterm Presentation 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf931a28abf838c8f9f2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Problem
Current lawn mowers require prolonged physical labor and sun exposure.
Riding mowers can create additional cleanup work because of their size.
Push mowers do not create cleanup work but still require physical work and sun exposure.
![Page 8: Grassinator1300 Senior Design 1 Midterm Presentation 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf931a28abf838c8f9f2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Combine the usability of a riding mower with the size of a push mower, while further reducing the sun
exposure with autonomous features.
Solution
![Page 9: Grassinator1300 Senior Design 1 Midterm Presentation 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5697bf931a28abf838c8f9f2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Grassinator1300 intends to solve these problems by providing a small gas-powered push mower platform that is radio-controlled (RC).
• Use RC mode to record and execute movements
• Operate in autonomous mode
• Allow user to supervise from a nearby shady area
• Limited physical labor.
