The unsatisfied Need: need completed by tomorrow but if you can get it done today that's even better!!!

Due to my lack of free time because of my work and school schedule, its quite hard to keep up with certain tasks. Normally, I wouldn't mind taking the time to make my yard look nice, but lately its been hard to fit into my schedule. The most time consuming factor when making my yard look nice, is the mowing of the lawn; Everything else isn't that time consuming. But, I end up sucking it up and getting it done in order to avoid paying someone an outrageous price to get the job done.
The product I would love to see created is an affordable self lawn mower. Something similar to the vacuums you might see in a home or even in a pool that is doing an area sweep of the entire floor. The self lawn mower would be very handy in situations like mine. I don't have the time, nor want to spend the money on having someone cut my lawn. Placing the device in my hard for it to cut the grass would be much easier and less time consuming. The device should be very secure and detect not running into or over objects that are not suppose to be mowed. I'm sure something like this would fly off the shelves. This would definitely satisfy my need and wants.
