Ever wondered who actually breaks robot mowers before you buy one? This week we sit down with Scott Grahams, one of the most active independent robotic mower beta testers in the industry, with hands-on time across Yarbo, EcoFlow, The Goat, Toro's prototype, and more.
We get into:
- How Scott went from a lawn care business owner to an unpaid robot beta tester
- The real difference between RTK, LiDAR, and VSLAM navigation
- Why durability — not features — is still the industry's biggest problem
- The most requested (and most disgusting) feature every brand keeps hearing about
- What happens when Kickstarter promises don't match reality
- Whether robotic mowers are actually worth the price tag
This episode is packed with insider info you won't find in a spec sheet.
