ANDA, or “Anti-Damo” remote

machine, is a productive
innovation that can be
improved and highly
developed in the future. It
combined the convenience of
other past lawn mower
inventions, without setting
aside cost-friendliness,

safety.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1.What is the effectivity of the Anda grasscutting machine
function in removing weeds with regards to the height of
the grass in a certain area/lawn?

2. How does the grasscutting machine adapt to locations in

terms of the distance it travelled in a minute, and its speed
as it run on the following:
a. flat track;
b. rough track;
c. rocky track?

3. How long is the Anda machine’s total usage time?

4. How long are the Anda machine’s batteries’total charging

time?
HYPOTHESES:

1. The Anda grasscutting machine will not be effective in

removing the weeds with repect to the grass’ height in a
certain area.
2. The Anda grasscutting machine will not adapt
satisfactorily in different locations.
3. The Anda grasscuting machine will not give satisfactory
results in terms of time usage and charging time.
 SCOPE & LIMITATIONS
The study mainly focused on creating a remote-controlled grass
cutting machine that is portable, and effective in terms of cutting grass while
adapting to different locations at a satisfactory manner. The process of
making the machine was supervised by at least four consultants which
guided the step by step assembling of the parts, as well as the improvements
to be done. Moreover, the Anda machine did not use any advanced robotic
programming for it is not necessary to execute the grass cutting function the
researchers foresee, and instead has disadvantages that may aggravate any
compromising qualities of the machine. Meanwhile, the materials for the
product were provided by the researchers and some were easily found in
electronic shops. The researchers also utilized recycled printers for DC
motors, remote-controlled cars, and other considered junks from damaged
appliances.

 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results, the researchers concluded that:

• Anda Remote-Controlled Grass Cutting Machine is

effective in cutting 84% of the initial grass heights;

• it showed satisfactory location adaptivity among the three

different tracks: namely, flat, rough, and rocky;

• the usage time of the machine is adequate for it to

perform tasks, with or without solar panel;

• the charging time of its power supplies is

uncompromising, given that it is less that the usage time
the machine can run with
 RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Wheels. The researchers advise modification of the wheels to make
the machine more adaptive to rocky surfaces. The researchers
recommend the use of shock absorbers, or spiked wheels that can run
off bumpy roads more effectively. Further enhancements should also be
made to the front wheels for the reverse function, to prevent it from
barely scratching the ground.

2. Chassis Alloy. The researchers recommend using much harder

chassis alloys for the body of the machine, in order to make it sturdier.

3. Safety. The researchers recommend using the machine with proper

distance in order to prevent accidents such as flying debris of stones
and other materials the rotating cutter blade may run into. Likewise, it is
advised to make the cutter blade detachable for safe storage purposes.

4. Resources. The researchers also recommend utilization of scraps and

other junk materials which can be recycled, to make the product more
cost-friendly.
