Full local/open source lawnmower? (lemm.ee)

Anyone have any current recommendations for an open source (or one that works without internet) robot lawnmower?

I've got 1,300m3 of grass around my house and it's been a pain to cut with a push mower.

So far I've only seen:

My issue with the openmower one is that I don't know how to solder and I'm too afraid I'll break some very expensive components, so it would be nice if I could buy something mostly pre-built.

As for repalmaker, I worry not having GPS won't work since my garden is quite large and a robot bouncing around randomly would probably never finish, I also have a separate front and back (there's a path between them) and I'd like the robot to finish one area then, go to the other area by itself.

Anyone seen any other options available?
