Longmont Locals: Scythe (/saɪð/) Robotics


Listen Later

You know… like the tool (a scythe is basically a long handle with a curved blade at the end). Scythes were like the very first lawn mower. You swing that curved blade parallel to the earth, and voila, grass haircut. Scythes dominated for THOUSANDS of years. Then I guess at some point this really grim dude stole all of them and we had to start making ACTUAL lawnmowers. I don’t know how it all went down, but I guess Edwin Beard Budding got involved. But time is a flat circle or something, because here we are in the 21st century, and buddy, a Scythe (/saɪð/) is once again the very, uh, cutting edge of mowing technology. We’re talking automated and battery operated. You want to know what the hell I’m talking about? Well are you are in luck!
