While Adam was recently at Husqvarna’s Research and Development labs, he met Chris Price, the robotics engineer in charge of North American development for Husqvarna’s Automower robotic lawn mower. Chris gives us a look under the hood of an Automower to show how the technology for these machines has evolved in the nearly 30 years Husquvarna has been making them, and to share his story about what it takes to enter the field of robotics today.

It's expected to actually disclose this at the start of a sponsored video. Kinda sneaky to leave it in the comments that many people never check.
@@existentialselkath1264 So you missed the big ole banner on the top left huh?
@@jamesbizswhen?
@@existentialselkath1264 Why does it matter? You think Adam is lying?
@@Nekotaku_TV I think anyone is generally a lot less critical about something they're being sponsored to talk about. That doesn't equate to lying at all. It's just common sense.
I enjoy Adams content, I generally trust his word about as much as is possible for a dude on the internet I don't personally know, but the only reason I even noticed it was sponsored was because the whole video had a slightly odd vibe, so clearly there is something different when it's sponsored.
I just recently discovered this channel and im so happy i did because when mythbusters ended i was a little kid but still watched every episode. Im not kidding i was bawling over it. 😂 Love thia content keep making these entertaining videos😊
Pretty awesome that you found this. There's a ton of content to go through!
Once you go robotmower you Will never go back. My old 2010 HQ AC220 is passing 9000h work hours! Insanely reliable!
Have a 450x, last 7 years. Best thing we have ever bought in our lives, other than a marriage license. Heat stroke and broken ankles are not as much a risk since the robot. More actual work can get done outside, instead of trying to keep up with the walk areas/pointless vegetation spaces.
Wish durable effective robot mowers were more known. So many people stop and take videos of ours, in shock that it exists. Screams bloody murder if someone catches it to look under. lol Collision is fantastic. Doesn't ram into anything.
However. Needed to replace almost ever single part of this mower, including the wheels, multiple times. The battery and charging station are about the only thing that's actually 7 years old. That's saying something, because the heat and amount of use are very high. It only gets a rest for about 3 months out of a year.
I wish these mowers were not so focus marketed to small city/suburban lawns. Those are the people I guess who want stripes. Or don't need the onboard panel. Can't believe they removed those from the newer mowers. The people who really need these mowers live further out, with rougher terrain, and connection issues with just a phone app for communication.
Our land is sort of flat. With clay backfill, fireants, and droughts, unfortunately the mower badly needs vibration endurance. It rattles itself apart hard. Our weeds are rough and often woody, but the mower eventually evens them off.
Hasn't been stopped by pinecones, storm branches, fireant mounds, vegetable harvest trimmings, odd rainy segments with extremely fast growth, or fruits. Not even big riding mowers can say that, here. Walking around is infinitely nicer since the robot mower. It weighs much less, and doesn't compact the ground further. Gets better each year.
Those bricks on the tiny obstacle course in the video? Sure, sometimes nothing bad happens. Other times heavy low bricks snag a blade and breaks it. Or hangs up the whole mower, stuck on it's side. Must keep up after anything that exposes or moves hard low objects out into the mowing spaces.
Stumps can high center it like a turtle. lol Tree roots haven't jammed the mower, the sounds when the mower decides to climb over them makes us wince. Random wildlife holes have yet to hang it up, not sure how. So I suspect there is more wear and tear on the undercarriage, and front wheels, than the manufacture expects.
Difficult to get services. Install company folded that section of their business around 2020, and came from 2 hours away. We must travel to the next state over, a four hour plus round trip, when it's something we can't replace ourselves. Winter servicing is a lovely daydream. The install company introed that idea, and then promptly ditched robot mowers before we could even get the winter service.
Couple important things for perimeter wire install. Get the BEST quality wire for the install. Wire originally installed was a low grade, aluminum stranded, that corroded within two years. There is no good time of the year to discover extensive corrosion, chew through, or flat out breaks. BURY it completely. That nonsense of sitting on top of the vegetation must work somewhere, but not here.
Or, get the new models without any perimeter wires. Although, you won't be able to control it from an onboard panel if your phone will not connect. Can't imagine. So many times we needed to go out to the panel to get it working again.
Thanks for the book! You're clearly a paid bot though.
I'm very happy for you.
Wow dude that sucks!
Pick one
as a swede, this feels wierd, literally every house has this from 10+ years ago xD Best thing you can invest into ^^
I am so glad you did this video. When you went to the Robot Cave, my first thought was, "Grant would have loved this."
Been researching to get my wife on board auto mower the past couple days, you releasing this today is a clear sign I need one
25:20 that joke is highly underrated 😂
He likes grass as well. 🪴
This is cool!
Amazing!
These are the tech solutions we need in our lives. Now just need laundry and dishes robots!🤖
Silent Running!
Adam, would love a Huey build...
It looks like a little tractor! WTB Shielded Gameboy transparent semi-colored, high durability shell, then a kinda "Canopy" a sun-shield isolated by some metal rods to the side, that hold up a tiny solar panel(s) (to power emergency systems, no drive just, reporting) and a foundational antenna to boost GPS/WIFI. Kinda like a umbrella on a tractor, but multifunctional, and cute. Unnecessary yes, but a little robot with a tiny techno umbrella is gold Jerry, GOLD!
Here's three tests they forgot to do:
Make a 1 sqm box and see how often the mower get stuck. Surprisingly often even though there's actual room for it to manoeuvre.
Measure the time it takes for the mower to cut the whole garden. You'll find out it's a very long time since, for some reason, the random character of its mowing makes it often go to areas it has done already. Ending up in some areas getting cut quite rarely.
When cutting, the mower struggles severely to cut down longer single straws of grass and other stems-making them just bend down but actually not cut so they swing back again. Ending up with a lot of stems and other unwanted small vegetation left.
They should implement some sort of machine learning making the mower remember difficulties and how to remedy them.
We have some of these at work. I think they perform well. They are not going to generate the contrasting strips that are typical of freshly cut lawns, but that's a byproduct of their autonomous nature and how they somewhat chaotically bounce around inside their area.
The only downside, and this is more of a maintenance issue, is there is some sort of problem that develops with the blade system. When the facilities team puts these out every spring they struggle to cut anything. Miraculously, one day they begin to cut great. I suspect the blades get corroded and need to be changed every year. Or perhaps the blades get froze on their axles. This is likely more of a storage issue with the machine in the off season. They probably aren't cleaned well at the end of the season and that leads to the problems.
Then, one day, they start cutting great.
Having some mechanical sympathy is going to lead to increased service life of your machines. If you take care of them, they will take care of you.
Damm, such a great episode. Adam you were like Norm asking the questions you knew the answers to. Plus you had amazing questions, wow. Gracias, dommo.
It felt like an wordly expanse to nerds everywhere.
Mmmmmmmmm
Have had several Husqvarna for several years. Mowers themselves are pretty bulletproof proof but wires are a real pain and fail ALL the time. Dealership support in my area is poor. Just purchased two Mammotion Lubas that are GPS…no wires. After about a month I am still learning but performance has been great! After over 5 years of using robot mowers I am a huge fan.
Robotics solving mundane tasks. Awesome.
Thanks for the video! So much great information!
I live in Husqvarna 😊
"Can I remove this" as it's already half out. Lol
Being so light weight, looks like it would be easy for someone to steal while you're out and about or asleep. Are there safe guards to prevent that? What about something that aids in recovering the mower? After all, it has GPS.
it has a GPS in it also its uless without the refrenc antena. on top of that all of them have a PIN code acces. without knowing the PIN code its also useless
Someone needs to make custom shells for these that make them look like combine harvesters, super mario turtles, tanks... The possibilities are endless! 😅
Oh, there are plenty of custom vinyl skins for these out there. :D
I had a random idea there the other day using a VR headset setting boundaries. That's got two small cameras, a few sensors essentially a phone as a brain. Instead of using GPS why not explore using the same tech as VR headsets for setting lawnmower boundaries? No need for base station GPS antenna or burying wire. I'm sure there are other complications (like reliability and repeatability).
I defiantly can see Adam Mowing his name in the Lawn with one of these and him laughing his ass off and geeking out over it
He doesn’t have a lawn tho lol
Just ordered a husky for $599 from amazon. My John D tractor cost me 4k in 2011.
I hate the whole concept of lawns but this is pretty cool. I will never have one because I plant native plants and flowers so I don't have grass.
I'm so pleased how it was pointed out how important the sourcing of and knowing the properties of off-the-shelf parts is to the design and manufacture of robots.
Safety! Thank you for recognizing it’s important! I hope other companies think about collision frequency. And hopefully people, animals, etc are recognized before they are negatively impacted. Gratitude
Love such episodes!
I got a Husqvarna 430X in 2016, and this is absolutely the best gadget i ever purchased !!
It just works and works, and is the best in product-engineering.
But don't run it at night if You have hedgehogs in the neighborhood.
No, i am not sponsored.
Lol I literally was thinking about this today! Interesting
16:29 "Can I?"
"Well, you've already pulled half of it out so, sure..."
Husqvarna is a great company! But It’s not pronounced ”Husk-a-varna” it’s ”Huus-kvar-na”! Love the videos!
those are pretty close when you say them quickly m8
@@firstyoutubehandle Yes, I know the long U is a bit hard in english, but please try to at least remove the ”a” in the middle. 😉
It's so strange to hear the American pronunciation when you live next to the actual town where it's from.
I've always pronounced it husk - Varna. Good to know the correct way to say it. Now Lego - that is confusing.
@@sng2225just pronounce the first sound in leigh (just before the 'i' sound and then 'go'. Perhaps draw out the first sound a bit
I was half way into this before I realized it was an infomercial. I was only half listening anyway, working at a bench nearby. It was the gushing that drew my attention.
Love the channel, mini vault door series is fantastic
We have a husky that has been mowing the lawn for almost 4 years now. It has literary been stuck just once, due to me not keeping some bushes away from the lawn. It has been amazing….
I’ve been looking at these for a while… just bought a new house with a much larger yard so this is so perfectly timed haha
Great video Adam sir 😊
It can't stop and mow around a flower.
The safety features on these mowers are fascinating. I've built a couple robots and would never trust any of mine with spinning blades, but these have some really clever design to reduce risk of injury
(19h x 7days )x52 weeks )x 4 years = 27664 hours. Let's say that it's design for 27k hours and you only cut grass 3 times a week that is 27664 hours / (19h x 3days x 52 weeks) = 9.3 years. I those price, I expect that. Let's be honest this is not easy life for a robot, its outdoor under UV, water, cold and hot. My roborock S7 vacuum got 377h, 589 cycles and 18000m2 total area clean.
100% someone needs to develop a snow removal system like this
Yarbo?
Now how would that work without it having a big maw that goes up to your knees?
@@jankington216 A built in heater to melt it, or something you start and runs continuously through a storm. Say something that could handle up to 3 inches depth. Also snow freshly fallen is a lot easier to move than stuff that's been compacting throughout an entire storm.
@@ck2d there a thing actually called heated lawns, the football/soccer grounds the big clubs, the one money to burn, something put under grass, in the earth/dirt maybe electrical heater, or myself, more like to hot-water pipes, and run all over the playing area, on the ready cold days no snow, no frost, no ice, many even keep grass it self happy, warm, may still grow a bit too?
@@ck2dheating snow slowly like that in the winter would use an insane amount of power and then leave water in it's wake that would freeze to ice and the robot moved on :-)
Much easier to spin a tiny motor with little in the way of resistance... just a couple razor blades trimming an eighth of a inch of grass.
14:16 What an excellent question
I actually always wondered how these worked
The guy: 2 centimeters, Adam's American imperial brain who needs fractions no matter what: wow that's ONE FIFTIETH of a meter!
5:30 I love Adam laughed when that was said. Who wants random squiggly lines on their lawn? Adam. And, perhaps me. 😆
The thing is it doesn't leave lines at all, other than during the first week of setting it to work in the spring.
Hank and Peggy over at NarroWay Homestead have shown me Robot Lawn Mowers work surprising well.
As a senior, I have found my 415X to be a godsend. I will say that I needed to purchase the all terrain wheels to deal with the slope of my yard. Other than that, it was “set it and forget it.”
430X here for about 3 years now, working flawless!
Lol, as a Swedish idiot I simply can't get over how Adam says Husqvarna! 😄It's really adorable, but it's simply pronounced "Huskvarna" as one continuous word! 😁
I've pointed out in another reply, recordings on forvo with the Swedish pronunciation. Your _Huskvarna_ isn't going to mean anything to American English speakers. In English, there are three different sounds used for 'u'. Few American would guess your long u sound for Husqvarna.
@@blindleader42 yes, you're right... I still find it adorable how the Americans say it! 😁
"Husskawarna"
I just get annoyed how he's putting an extra syllable in there for no reason
Haha, same. American English pronunciation of the company name should be: hoosk · vaar · nuh
An antenna on the building with its own grounding, like for TV antenna or satellite?
The mower knows where it is, because it knows where it isn't.
Can you build a not so ugly mower?
Adam On the feild :D
Oh wow,if everyone who owns one ends up looking as large as he is,I will just keep doing it myself lol If I'm gonna weigh 300 pounds,I'd rather not.This company really needs a better spokesman.
Anyone else think Grant would have been in his element here.
Anone else think he is dead?
Wow, these people are insanely smart!!!
maybe I missed it, but was expecting to hear comments about theft or ransoming of the mower. What's to keep someone from picking it up and throwing it in the back of their car/truck?
There is a a pin you need to enter before lifting it(you can choose your own pin) , or a siren of about 120dB goes off and does not stop until you enter the pin or the battery dies (it can go on for hours)
Also depending on the model you can get mobile network addon so you can track the stolen mover using GPS. It can also use GPS to detect if it's stolen.
Nothing lol Live in a gated community,or don't get it.
i dull a razorblade cuting 3 boxes up for recycling , how long would they really last cutting grass?
about half a season, depending on if you have no debree on your lawn, like pinecones or sticks....
Not long! A 50 pack of replacement blades is 3.89$ though lol If you replace them 100 times,it's actually cheaper than buying 2 real lawn mower blades.Use your head.
@@jeffdroog well ive never bought a lawn mower or a blade since you can get them for free and sharpen it yourself... pretty sure i do use my head but thanks for the tip
@bmxscape Ahaha,do less meth.That made less sense than the first thing you mumbled.
@@bmxscape You can get a lawnmower for free? Is that like a government program I don't know about lol
My only problem is they should’ve made it washable by a hose. A lot of people would do that. It’s kind of sad that the team at Husqvarna missed that one that seems like a user-friendly feature in my opinion ring resistance is one thing, but idiot proofing is another.
Gardena robot mowers can be washed with hose. Gardena is basically Husqvarna with different color and plastic.
The hospital I work at has one of these for the yard outside the cafeteria, it's been there for 4-5 years, no one ever touches it except to put it away for the winter and it never looks like it needs cleaned. As the one person in the video mentioned, they keep the grass short all the time so they never really work too hard. You could probably get away with a damp cloth wipe down once a year when you put it away at the end of the season.
All (EU) Husqvarna models are hose washable. Not sure about the exact US models and ipx ratings.
Interesting, but I do like the making videos a lot more than the paid advertisement series. Only so much of this content I can handle--it does start to feel a little bit like an infomercial. But still love the channel. I get that everyone has bills to pay.
It should,as it definitely 100% is an infomercial.Good job
I love mowing the lawn and don’t need a roombafor it. Get that bag Adam!
I also like to mow the lawn, but if i dont need to i can do something else i like even more.
Husqvarna robot lawn mowers are what I've heard work well in Finland. I've unfortunately been looking after a couple of Stihl robots and those have been having all sorts of issues every year.
Shocking to hear the truth that manufacturers are only aiming at 5 to 7 years of functionality these days.
My Husqvarna automower is 16 years old and still works great.
@@Swiftsword- I have a Briggs and Stratton bearing something or another and it's about that old and I do NOTHING to it but put gas in it. I want an electric, but this thing might be immortal.
5-7 years of running time
I'm surprised the topic of pets didn't come up... like what happens when my dogs are outside, will the mower avoid them or does it need to bump them before it changes course. And what about dog waste? Does the mower just run over piles of dog waste and smear it in to the grass and all over the machine wheels and the blades?
I mow over poop all the time. What actually sucks is when you run into hidden poop with the weedeater
Adam, it's pronounced husk-varna in their commercials...
And in swedish Huskvarna
@@Logical.curiosity wat
Well that would be wrong too. It's more like Huus-kvar-na.
@@Nekotaku_TV you mean "hoosk-varn?"
@@jacobrjager No... Was that a joke?
Pleasure to see the video sir
The razor blades are probably a heck of a lot cheaper to replace than a regular steel mower blades
I can get a 36 pack for about $12. My mower has 3 blades and i put on fresh blades when the cutting season starts and swap once during it.
This is fantastic. My old campus had some of these, and this gets dark:These mowers killed a whole family of ducklings as it failed to identify them and just passed over them.
No it didn't lol Ducks are smart,and would have moved away LONG before then...Also,they ducking fly.Quit lying.
@@jeffdroog The ducklings don't, my man. That's whom I were talking about. The ducklings got smoked. They can't move very fast, they cannot fly and they are very small. Look up "duckling". Why would I lie about this? What would I stand to gain from a lie like that?
@Duspende Good thing the average duckling is too large for such a thing,and also,are accompanied by large adult ducks that will keep their young safe,and away from the device.
No. Newborn ducklings are basically helpless, and they stay in the nest for a few weeks. They don’t fly, they don’t swim, they don’t walk. They wouldn’t know what’s dangerous or not. The parent(s) have to leave them to find food for themselves and their young. Maybe dad is in the picture, maybe not; even if he is, they’re not tagging in/out so one adult is with the young at all times. Even if an adult is with the ducklings, if a robot mower comes along, there is no time to move the babies. Either the adult is injured or dies with them, trying to defend the young, or the adult escapes to live another day and raise another set of young.
Newborn wildlife is fragile and vulnerable, and only has the ability to deal with a fraction of what the world throws at them.
So I guess Adam has a new mower 😂
Now if he only had some grass to turn it loose on.😝
I'm 100% sure there was just a cash infusion to whatever legal entity pays for Tested production.
I think one of the most helpful things in this video is how to actually pronounce Husqvarna. :)
I don't know about that. Forvo has pronunciations recorded by eight different people from Sweden. There are two very slightly different pronunciations recorded and neither of them are any closer to Adam's than the common American one.
hoos-k'var-na
hoos-quar-na
hoos-kə-var-na
@@blindleader42
The beginning "HU" is pronunced much like the HU in "Hue",
the "KVA" is much like the QUA in the word "Quark"
So you could say it maybe like Huesquarna, I think that would be fairly close.
It's a Swedish town, but you can split it up to two words since when you say it you say it as two words, "hus" "kvarna"
Hus = House
Kvarn = Mill/Windmill/grinder
I isn't the easiest name to say in English I'll grant you, Chris way of saying it is the best I've heard, but then again, If he has been living 6 months with the Swedes hearing it being said over and over it does help to get it to sound more like the Swedish pronunciation!
Umm, when did they correctly pronounce Husqvarna, must have missed it.
@@pieebobeg Yep, I got that. From the recordings I've heard, Americans would get closest with "hoos".
From the Swedish IPA chart, it doesn't look like Swedish even has that sound. Two of the eight forvo recordings did not have the quar sound, just the k sound isolated from the rest of the word.
Numerous Swedish speakers in these comments have corrected Adams first syllable with "husk", which will have every American saying it the way Adam does. See my comment above - that sound apparently is missing from Swedish. But I could be wrong on that. If there's a Swedish word with that first syllable vowel that Adam uses please tell me.
If Americans just skipped that extra A they add in the middle they'd much closer, it's husqvarna _not_ husqAvarna.
Don't see any goal posts or soccer goals on that obstacle course. They're v popular in Europe
On super flat even “Golf course” like lawn.
How’s it working on uneven, hilly terrain?
Depends but it works great on our lawn at the summer house where its very lumpy and hilly
Yeah, I live in SW PA. My yard has a downward slope of, no joke, probably 40 degrees, left to right. And it’s not “level” along that plane, there’s basically a shallow trench 2/3 down. I would have concerns about how well it could do the job.
16:36 While I appreciate that the design of these is such that they are serviceable through the time of ownership, I am always skeptical of companies ethics when it comes to the longevity of their products against planned obsolescence. It's in the interest of the company to have return customers of course, so they wouldn't make these fail completely within a small period of time, but I do wonder if they plan for parts to be serviced or replaced within a certain timeframe to drive alternative revenue options, i.e servicing.
Well fpr what it's worth I have a 40 years old riding mower from them and last year the steering column gear broke
Al I did was give them a call and 3 days later I got a new gear for the column and it cost me 37 bucks
Love you Adam and the solving of engineering problems but how about we stop sterilising our environment.
Nice
It needs googly eyes.
I see you’re also a Man of culture
I have a 450x and it is on its fifth year. It works great. Mows about one acre.
my lawn is 1 acre and the max is .8 so i have to buy two?
5-7 years seems like a super short life... my non-robot mower is like 15 years old...
It's short in terms of years of ownership but not in terms of operating hours. These are designed to operate almost constantly to maintain the grass at the desired length not just cut it 2-3x's a week when it gets longer and as stated in the video that can be up to 19 hours a day, 7 days a week for those 5-7 years.
Assuming you're just a homeowner and not a landscaper using it commercially your 15 year old mower probably has a tenth or less of the operating hours they will see in 5-7 years which is actually quite impressive.
My Husqvarna lawnmower with a Honda engine left behind by the previous homeowner is easily 20 years old...and I'll probably have it for another 20 years
Yeah,and my grandfather is still using a riding lawnmower he bought back in 1987.The future is now,as in,we only make things that work right now lol Ten minutes away is anyone's guess.
@jongrey1916 So,not only does it not live long,it takes FOREVER to cut the grass.No thanks lol Humans can't be replaced by this garbage.
Soooo ... humm ...
You can writes words on your grass with the gps system xD
Why didn’t you ask if the new model has moose avoidance technology??!
How the Fk would it run 19 hours a day? Got ten batteries for the thing???
- He just loves grass
- So do I
😂😂
How do you prevent some guy driving by and snagging your mower while you're inside taking a shower?
There is a loud alarm siren built in and you need the code to turn it off. But yeah you can still grab it, but probably not operate it anyways
it has gps
They thought of just about every scenario with this mower...
How would you stop them from stealing your car? Lol Do less meth.
They only last 5 - 7 years!? That seems like a really short time for something so expensive. Prices on their website were 1.5k - 8.5k. No way am I buying something for several thousand dollars to save me 1 -2 hours of work per week for 9 months out of the year and have it only last 5 years. Plus you still have to trim. You can get a professional lawn service for way cheaper if you can't or won't do it yourself. No thanks.

What is with this sponsored "collab" with Husqvarna all of a sudden?
This channel (to my knowledge) have never had these sponsored videos before....very odd
They've had plenty of sponsored videos before.
@@RaXXha Not this kind of "shoved in the face" kind of very clearly sponsored videos imo.
And I know, no need to say "IF yOu Don't LIke iT DON't WaTch IT"
Random comment for the UA-cam algorithm.
You can see Andreas Spiess video on how to get your own RTK GNSS for projects up to 1 cm 3d positioning.
I was just about to post that. RTK is super cool.
How many videos did that Concrete Cutter cost?
Can you get it customized so it looks like the Batmobile is mowing your yard?
Dude says "our mowers have 2cm accuracy" multiple times in a row.
Adam "so how accurate are your mowers? 2cm wow"
Failed with not asking the most important question. How do they prevent theft.. With the top that pops off so easily and batteries right there. I can pop the top and disconnect the batteries and walk off with a very expensive mower...
Which is a brick without the pin code and the station.
And then what?
@@jamesbizs Get spotted walking down the street carrying a lawn mower, either by a neighbour or some security camera(s)
There is a a pin you need to enter before lifting it(you can choose your own pin) , or a siren of about 120dB goes off and does not stop until you enter the pin or the battery dies (it can go on for hours)
@@vegmel03 Thank you, but that wont stop much. If you know where the siren is or its exit hole, a simple finger to cover the hole reduces the sound to a muffle. But again if you are watching the mower and catch it at the return to base. It will be mostly discharged. Alarms means nothing as bikes are stolen all the time with a loud siren blaring.
It doesn't adjust its Wheels independently so it's not even trying to be multi Dexterible. The wheels or the blade should float and follow the terrain like a fish finder looks at the floor of the lake. Is this 1982
The way they work is the start to cut get stuck, you go and free it and go back in the house just to get a notice that it's stuck again but this time it's buried it self digging it self in a hole
Well... The GPS system...
Why not just use the reference antenna with a compass and distance measurement?
The compass should fix the map from rotating around the antenna.
For people without fences, they need to have an electric shock mode to prevent theft.
I’ve got much bigger tree roots in my yard. And much bigger transitions between the driveway and the yard.
very cool. i wonder if adam has done any kind of programming? if not, i would recommend attempting to learn some simple concepts and make a simple program. its heavily rewarding. After a long day of working with my hands fixing bicycles i consistently find myself seeking more complicated problems to solve, and programing fills that void for me. I am able to consistently push my brain to the limit and due to that fact, learn a lot.
