Andrew Janecek Range Rover is an autonomous robot that is designed to clean a designated area of golf balls. The designated area is marked by an electronic fence, which is just a commercially available pet fence. Range Rover is not designed to cover a typical driving range since the area is too large, but rather an area about the size of a household lawn. The platform consists of an electric RC car which pulls a trailer behind it. This trailer is used to collect balls into a basket while counting how many balls have been collected.
Collision avoidance is provided by a front bumper.
