One thing I would like to see changed is the rain sensor. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the rain sensor works when the machine is in the docking station charging. If you set you machine to pause during rain, I don't want it coming out in the rain or mud and traveling the wire back to the docking station.

It's really funny that you brought this up.
One time I was demonstrating the rain sensor to a customer. I sprinkled some water on the rain sensor and he faithfully went back to the base. I pressed "charge" to get him out again and was absolutely amazed when I read the display. It said "check rain"!!! That's right, it actually checks to see if it is still raining after going back due to rain. I couldn't believe it...
In this case, the menu was set to "restart" rather than "pause". I am really glad they have Pause as a menu selection because then you know it will not come out in the mud. You can just let the ground dry out and start it again.

I'd like to add a wet grass sensor.. because, on the LB3200, there isn't one!

I set my gap very tight so that even a wet blade of grass will set it off.
