How Do I Shovel My Snow?

With a robot, of course! What did you expect?:)

This is a robot shell that I built with some students in the summer for a robot challenge. The robot chassis is from an electric seat scooter. I attached part of a shovel to it and stayed warm inside, while the robot did all the outside work:)

With the recent snowfalls in our area this is a timeless idea. Makes me want to go find an old scooter to hack.

That is such a great idea as out here in Barrie we are in the snow belt area and not looking forward to the rest of the winter. They do sell these type of ready made   snow robots (I think,will need to double check that) similar to lawn mower bots but cost a small fortune,best to make your own with an EZB anyway! Also DJ thanks for that Ebay Link on the motor controller it gave me more insight on what to look for in my new projects! I have learned more in the last week than what any damned technical college ever could in a year,All hail EZB and Synthiam!
