Cutting grass in different pathways #13

More of a feature idea but when cutting grass you wouldn't want it to cut the grass the same way every time. So cutting it at 4 different angles (horizontal, vertical and diagonals) would be a good idea. That way you avoid ruts ref ref2

dunno how you would implement this but if I have time later in the year I look into it from your code.

btw nice work @ClemensElflein . Maybe from this we can implement this as a snow remover (just an idea on top of this way out of left field...). would be cool if you could add another motor to horizontal attaching a snowblower scraper and the flat motor as a fan blower with a controlled vent that could store the snow in a certain area.

Is the gps accurate enough that it would ride in the same 1" wheel width track each mowing? Relative accuracy is pretty good, for position of a single mowing, but between days, or even hours, it should drift by a good foot or so, causing it to not rut.
