Bet you didn’t see that coming!
Robots are a form of technology that - and this I can guarantee - will have a significant impact on how we live our daily lives in the next century (and on). Any form of robotics falls within the scope of Geekie.org’s technological discussions. (But yes, this is a sponsored post.)
In this case, we’ll be talking about lawn mowers. Bamabots (see http://www.bamabots.com/) sells a variety of highly advanced “robomowers”. Take a look at any of the pictures and you’ll definitely be drawn in… I was.
What’s also interesting is that the site has a whole host of other pages pretty much selling the robomowers. An example is the Robomower review at www.bamabots.com/robomower-rl1000-review.htm which gives much more than you need to know before buying such a product.The “top ten reasons” page at http://www.bamabots.com/tenreasons.htm is good enough to convince most people that a robotic lawnmower can work for them - ignoring the hefty price tag. The page states that robotic lawnmowers:
- Work
- Are environmentally friendly
- Are associated with a beautiful lawn
- Will intrigue the neighbours
- Give you more time on your hands
- Need little maintenance
- Work autonomously and can even recharge and repeat the cycle automatically
- Are safe
- Are long-lived with two-year warranties and easily replaced parts
- Will be INCREASING in price
The website itself could use some work and should be more aesthetically pleasing (if they want to attract more customer or potential-client confidence). It also doesn’t validate against XHTML and CSS standards, and there are apparently problems with JavaScript. A better Flash banner and improved colours wouldn’t be such bad ideas.
Overall, the machines themselves appeal to me, although the website doesn’t. To web designers, the site is plain and not quite visually pleasing. To people newly introduced to online shopping, the site doesn’t quite inspire a sense of security. (Furthermore, the SSL certificate issued by Comodo or its associates doesn’t work well on main pages, since the images are hard-coded - not dynamically adapted by server-side scripting - for loading through HTTP.)
If you have a chance, take a look at the site and check out the products. The idea is certainly intriguing.
