A RoboMow was donated to the make shop. Here's a place for notes on what it would take to get it running again.

Battery Option #1
- Tyler is bringing batteries from Daniel Valdez that we can test in the lawnmower
Battery Option #2 (It takes two of the batteries listed)
- Cost: $56 x 2 (Total: $112)
- Purchase Source: http://smile.amazon.com/12Volt-18AH-Rechargeable-Sealed-Battery/dp/B0026T40LI/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1422299366&sr=1-3&keywords=battery
- Information Source: http://www.allbatteries.co.uk/tractor-ride-on-lawnmower-battery/robomow/rl555.html
  - Voltage : 12V
  - Minimum capacity : 16Ah
  - Dimensions : 181mm (L) x 76mm (W) x 167mm (H)
    - 7.12" (L) x 2.99" (W) x 6.57" (H)
Perimiter Switch
- Cost
  - New: $100
    - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Robomower-Perimeter-Switch-for-RL500-RL550-RL800-RL850-RL1000-/330701228310?_trksid=p2054897.l4275
  - DIY: TBD
    - Contacted robomow to ask if the permiter switch just put a low voltage on the wire, or if there was an actual signal message being received by the mower from the perimeter switch. --Omegix (talk) 13:39, 26 January 2015 (CST)
