Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing mower path-planning and cutting behavior, then define how four alternating mowing angles should be selected and validated; done means the mower can use those directions without creating repeated ruts.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

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.
