Rover/Mower/Drone Folks!
You are invited to the 3rd annual MowStock. All interested in autonomous Mowers/Rovers/Boats/Drones, etc. are invited. The main goals being to meet, compare ideas/best practices and share experiences with putting these autonomous contraptions together.
Everyone is encouraged to bring their own autonomous vehicle (running or project). We have ~100 acres of hay fields to play with so room to roam, fly and explore is not an issue. Will have our on-site RTK (via NTRIP) active and available for use by all. (Also have a small pond on the property for any floating Rovers).
Several folks from the Ardupilot Forums and YouTube fame will attend including Yuri Rage (https://www.youtube.com/@YurisHomebrewDIY) and Kenny Trussel (https://www.youtube.com/@KennyTrussell)).
Logistics:
Church Point is a small town about 20 miles NW of Lafayette, LA with no motels. However, Lafayette is a large metropolitan area about 30 minutes away with many motels and a large airport served by American, Delta and United and all major rental car companies.
We have a 2400’ grass airstrip onsite (71LA) and folks are welcome to fly-in. Please call before launching to confirm expected strip conditions. Bring your own tie-downs. KOPL and KLFT are both excellent hard surface options if we get serious rain.
RV’s are welcome onsite but please call for details.
If attending, please contact me so we can plan accordingly!
