Very cool! I'm a huge fan of hardware being used to provide great value in industrial context. The especially interesting thing about this is that it's valuable to both the business itself (understanding and optimizing for traffic patterns) and the patrons (finally I'll know when the gym is too full to bother)! I'm excited to see where this goes.

Lots of footage of the robot "mowing" an already perfectly manicured lawn. Would love to see video of this thing pushing through some tall grass.

Big fan of this outfit. They're doing good stuff to build a support network around hardware.

This is awesome. Great to see hardware projects solving the problems of those who need it most.

Interesting product! While I'm all about hardware-as-a-service as a business model, the $15/month service fee seems steep. This might make more sense with a hardware-enabled service (optional recurring fee), with some of the more complex features moved to the premium tier. Asking for high hardware margins and a recurring fee just seems a bit much.

Simple, brilliant! Why didn't I think of this?

Interesting. Could be a useful tool for getting disabled students around campus. The DisGo cart service at Stanford is particularly understaffed (https://oae.stanford.edu/disgo-cart-service). I'd be curious how well it recognizes stop signs and navigates twisty/odd campus pathways though.

Certainly looks like this could be a very useful tool for teams (particularly office admins) everywhere. I'm curious about the business model, though. Is there a markup on the food?

Really neat stuff. Do you have any figures on how much money this could save the average household on a yearly basis? And/or environmental impact?

So it eliminates the need to bag clippings by...not bagging clippings? Could use some more explanation there.

Very clever hardware project! Well done. How far along are you in production and when do you expect to ship?

Very interesting concept. Would love to hear more about exactly how their algorithm decides what to keep, time selections around these triggers, etc.
