Slope
Every robot has a maker-rated maximum slope. We do not copy an invented percentage. Check the figure on the Amazon product page.
The maker's figure is a gradient in percent or degrees. It states the incline the robot climbs without losing traction, measured on dry, even ground.
Why slope is the worst-documented spec
Many product pages omit maximum slope or show it in an image. When absent it lives in the manual. We never estimate it from motor power or weight.
Traction and drive
Robots use two or four driven wheels. AWD improves grip uphill and on wet grass at the cost of higher consumption.
FAQ
What slope can a robot mower climb?
It varies widely by model. Read it from the product page or manual, never estimate it.
Where do I find maximum slope?
On the product page when present, otherwise in the maker's manual. Many marketplaces omit it.
Is AWD necessary on a slope?
It clearly improves uphill grip and wet-grass traction but draws more power.
Does rain change anything?
Yes. The rated figure assumes dry ground. On wet grass real capability drops.
Does the robot slip at the top?
It depends on drive and surface. Plan a safety zone if the manual requires one.
