Random
Random mode is the most frequently used
mode for use of the Bigmow. It consists in
choosing the route to be taken at random.
Every time it encounters an obstacle or the
peripheral wire, the computer instructs Big-
mow to move in a different direction. In this
way, the route taken will never the same.
Systématic.
Systematic mode is more specific to certain
applications and requires a uniform area with
as few obstacles as possible (e.g. sports
fields). The idea is to turn concentrically fol-
lowing the shape of the lawn, until Bigmow
reaches the center of the mowing area. Ap-
proaching the center (at ± 20% of the remain-
ing surface), the Bigmow will mow the center
at random for a time before resuming its con-
centric mowing, but this time heading for the
exterior of the mowing area. The placement of
the peripheral wire thus remains the same, as
does the response to obstacles. The Bigmow
detects and goes around them in order to re-
sume the position it was in the process of
reaching. The selection of systematic mode is
done via the “Options” menu (F1). It is possi-
ble to begin mowing from the center towards
the exterior ('#' 'F1' 'F3' 'F3' 'F3' '#' 'F3' '#')
