Necessity? Bah. Laziness is the true mother of invention. Just ask Luis Medina, 36, an electrical engineer in Tarpon Springs, Florida, where the steamy summer days are ideal for growing grass, horrible for cutting it. Forced by his stringent neighborhood association to mow every week, Medina made a machine to ease his sweaty task: the Evatech RCLM2004S remote control lawnmower. â€Now I can kick back and relax in the shade,†Medina says. â€And laugh at the people who have to push their lawnmower.â€
