I feel like they missed a golden opportunity to let users select between various space filling curves for the cut pattern.
I, for one, would love to have my lawn cut in a Hilbert Curve pattern.
- shaftway 7y agoGet one of the mowers that follows a wire and then embed the wire under the grass in the pattern you want. I remember seeing one of these where a guy would mow outside a pattern at one height, then adjust the height of the mower and mow the inside of the pattern so the grass was longer, giving him a noticeable pattern. Can't find a link at the moment though.
- Seenso 7y ago> Get one of the mowers that follows a wire and then embed the wire under the grass in the pattern you want. Isn't it bad for the lawn to mow in a fixed pattern?
- benglish11 7y agoNo. I often mow my lawn in a pattern to produce nice stripes. It's also commonly done on sports stadium grass. A pattern (if chosen for efficiency) can actually reduce the wear of riding/pushing a lawn mower over the grass by minimizing the number of passes needed over a given patch of grass.

- ska 7y ago> on the level of precision This is pretty much set by the width of the mower blades - so not a practical issue.
- m463 7y agoWouldn't that also be the most efficient pattern possible? No portion of the lawn would ever be cut twice. On the other hand, hilbert curves seem to have a lot of right-angle corners, which maybe would slow the mower.
