I don't see a cup holder. That's amazing, I barely have enough time to eat dinner at night, how do these guys find time to build all this stuff.

 

[Carykong]

Brilliant engineering--but,sorry--I have to have a seat for my precious seat time

 

[mjncad]

Pretty cool, and I wonder if the coffin shape to the body was intentional.

It should say "Made in Eureka."

 

[Thomas]

It was matter of time.

 

[flyingcow]

Like it. Might want to put a orange flag like they have on kids bikes, be a tragedy.

 

[20 20]

very neat! With all the engineering they went through, I wonder why they didn't mount a blower instead of plow?

 

[Travelover]

Sorry, joystick time just ain't the same as seat time. He coulda had a real tractor for the same money and effort. :laughing:

 

[Mousefield]

Pretty cool video. The things people think of. With all the batteries inside it would be nice and heavy so good traction for clearing the snow. Hate to think of the cost to build it.

 

[MoKelly]

Any clue on price? I would imagine pretty steep.

 

[Kaizer Peas]

Looks like it works real well on "toy snow" but a lot of us get real snow!

That is an amazing piece of equipment. Where was it said that laziness is the mother of invention? Won't be long before we can run our total lives from the seat of the computer. Heartattacks at 25.

I realize that was meant somewhat tongue in cheek, but shoveling snow results in a lot of heart attacks. It's the most vigorous work/exercise that many people will do.

Pretty cool, wouldn't have much use for one here in Ga, but could use it to run the neighbors cat's out of the yard :thumbsup:

Shoveling snow doesn't cause heart attacks, poor diet, smoking, stress (like I can control that) and not exercising the rest of the year causes heart attacks. Of course, bad luck with genetics can raise the likelihood for some people to have a heart attack, despite their efforts to prevent them.

A remote-control model all-terrain truck would work better for the cat...or maybe a remotely triggered bungee catapult to send him/her back into the neighbour's yard via airmail (Google "squirrel catapult" to see what I mean)?

I'd be reluctant to have anything that powerful operated by remote control - but then what could go wrong? :laughing:

 

[forester2]

Possibly the most worthless piece of technology I've seen yet. Anyone who has plowed real snow knows the 'feel' of what's happening with the machine in different conditions is critical to getting the job done right (and not getting stuck). The ground clearance will make that a true joy when that sucker gets stuck.

Looks like a lot of fun - beats the normal radio control toys.

But as a pedantic sod and electronics tech, I wonder what is meant by "600 amps of power". (power is watts = amps x volts)
