Fortunatelly, the hedge trimmer comes with an extension handle jack connector, so we can use this instead of hacking the security button of the trimmer. First step is to find a compatible connector that fits.
Then add a toggle switch button to keep it always on.![]()
After soldering the two pieces together, and a bit of glue, we're done !![]()

The next step will be to attach the hedge trimmer to the cleaning bot !!![]()

Testing prototype: drill with blades
04/15/2017 at 18:50 • 0 commentsTested wired drill with 2 blades.
Conclussions:
- Very powerful, enough to cut grass
- Easy to create
- Very dangerous, will require extra security measures
- The blades might break in case of collision
A wireless drill, with strong blades and some metal cover to prevent accidents would be a possible solution.
