Be careful we wouldn't want there to be a nasty accident where the blades sliced off both your hands you and you were unable to entertain us with your obvious wit.Originally posted by pacharan View PostWas discussing next year's annual lawnmower marathon with the crew last night and we'be come up with a great wheeze for this Olympic year.
We are going to approximate some Olympic sports with lawnmowers.
My suggestion is synchronized mowing. My vision is to get a team of mowers in motion such that when viewed from above the combined action will look like the workings of a clock.
I envisage that there will be 2 sets of teams mowing in a circular motion and I will act as the balance wheel rapidly oscillating between a ten past and ten to position. For this I will need a simple push rotary affair that allows me to go back as well as forwards.
