When I was a kid, my older cousin had this kick-ass remote control car. Not one of those Radio Shack jobbies, but one from a local hobby shop that specialized in such items. That sonufabitch had upgraded wheels and what seemed like a 300 horsepower engine. From that moment, I thought that remote controlled cars were the coolest thing ever, but I never had one.

Maybe now I, and others like me, can get our collective fix on. How about a remote controlled lawnmower? That’s right: the LawnBott is in full effect. From Gizmodo:

Charge it up on its docking station and it will go for 4 hours - or 33,000 square feet - on one single charge. It’s apparently so quiet that you can let it run all night without bugging the neighbors, it doesn’t mind a bit of light rain, and a heavier shower will send it toddling back to its base station like the obedient little robot it is.

Two words: Awe Some. Coolness don’t come cheap, though. This puppy will set you back about $1800, which is about the price of a riding lawnmower. It may be worth it just to see the look on your know-it-all neighbor’s face.
