ROBOPLOW

Wow. almost six years later and i'm just now hearing about this... this is too impressive to not become a thing

I WANT one of these, and it doesn't even SNOW here!!! lmao

Genius, brilliant, innovative, fantastic, unbelievable, spectacular, LEAN!

Great work! A remote controlled coffin with a plow :D Love it.

This is a fantastic idea. I wonder if it can record its plow pattern and replicate automatically? Also, does it have a proximity warning if it gets to close to something or a moving object?

You could use something like the Oculus rift to control the camera, You could also auto map out the paths via GPS. After removing the snow return to base and (quickswap?) the plough for a hopper with salt. This is awesome!

this is hands down the best rc snow plow i've ever seen i'm sure someone is offering you some big money for this idea it's genius lol..

I nearly broke my wrist the other day shoveling snow; this robot is perfect for my place because it can work in tight spaces; where as a full size pick up truck won't be able to. Thumbs up guys!

Where's the buy it now button?

shut up and take my money

Absolutely amazing, have you ever considered selling a build package (plans)? I'd buy one.

Yes I plan to put a liquid ice melt system on it.

This is easily the best snow robot I've seen. Great job. Please commercialize it. Most other snow robots are designed by people who have no idea what they're doing.

Awesome construction. Maybe i wanna build a snow robot in the future, but now i need to be finish with my projected. Thanks for a good idea..

Guys patent this and get it into production! Virginia needs these stat!

When I first saw it come out of the garage and it plowed down the little drive way and back up I thought to myself "pfftttt.. so what.". Then I saw it do the side walk and I thought to myself "Wow that is amazing what a useful little machine!". Think of all the time it would of taken to do that with a human and shovel! Oh and the pain. Great video!

All it needs to be perfect is a lawnmower attachment. lol ☺

It's the Battlebot snowplow! God I miss that show. Keep it up man.

Great job! LED Fog lights,rear LED strobes, lot of relays,wires,cameras......EXCITING PROJECT!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!

That is so awesome. What a great idea. We use a tractor for plowing duties, but this robo plow would make plowing lots of fun!

Awesomeness! The rotable camera and the Flashing LED lights are brilliant!

That's pretty awesome. I like that you drove around the block clearing off the sidewalk for everyone.

kudos! very cool project, was probably a blast to build!

That's the best invention i ever seen! So cool. Combining fun and work!

Way to go STC! I barely recognized the street view and Mount St. Mary's Park! Awesome Invention! -South Elgin

Take my money please :D

I think the flashing tail lights was a nice touch. Nice job! Love it!

I've got a loooooong ass drive way. Not only do I want, but I NEED it.

great implementation of a great idea! I imagine that it would be much more efficient than a gas-powered snowblower- keeps you out of the elements, also!

Do i even wanna guess what it cost to build?? Very cool though!

One of the most original and most useful things i've seen on youtube. Good work guys. Thanks

that is great , awesome,,, I could sure use one of those getting tired of shoveling or even using a snow thrower

now that is how u enjoy a snow day!!!..... like a boss!!!

This is great. Imagine earning money clearing driveways. As a teenager I did that.

Effective range is approximately 5 city blocks Fail-safes on all channels if the robot does not see a signal it stops.

i bet the people driving by were thinking "i wish i had one"

SO AWESOME! definitely want one!

That thing is pretty slick and I can really respect the amount of work it took to make this. All I can hope is that it finds its place in the market and doesnt take my job! ;D

That is awesome. I would love to have myself one of those.

This is one,..one,of the coolest things I hv ever seen!..Great job!

That's fantastic! Love the idea and the execution. Scale it up and market it for remote airstrips. :)

AWESOME!! Few additions ever think of a salt spreader that would be the total package!!

wow....You should have been to Robot Wars....your robots would have kicked ass!!! Man this by far the greatest thing I seen!!! Congrats!!

The robot rolls back and says "Another job well done" Pretty cool!

Great video, well produced and fun to watch. Can you do another one with showing some of the controls while operating?

Yeah CNC machinery would come in really handy when working with robots!

at first i thought the wheels wouldn't have enough traction, but this thing rocks!

Almost as good as my Roomba! Great job guys!

What would be a great addition to this is to rig up a snow thrower attachment for when the snow banks get real high in mid winter. This would make a great 'instructable'

Hey this thing plows like crazy. I think if public services had such things, snow would be gone before you even wake up. Less people needed for that, it can be converted into anything, and it is eco-friendly! Brilliant, just brilliant!

awesome video and great idea. I remember a crazy uncle of mine who built something similar only smaller.... also you could hook a raking system on the back so you could rake leaves in the fall time.

DUDE!!! thats freakin awesome wish i had one of them!!!!

That will make plowing snow fun!

I'm not going to lie that's pretty damn awesome. Great job. Curious question, about how much does it weigh?

this is totally amazing how much time did it take to build this nice robot?

this is sick!! awesome video

where are the tires from? excellent engineering!!

I am curious, what is the realistic range for the controls, and what would you think a production model could sell for. Considering that Cheap snow throwers are hundreds already, there just might be a market for these, if they were priced like a riding mower - 3,000 - 4,000 maybe?

I want one! I would volunteer its services for the neighborhood driveways! #resourcebasedeconomy

I am impressed! It has power. Snowmover! What's the range on the camera?

hey what kind of electronics did you use and whats the programming look like for your controls? im currious cause im tryin to build some thing simular

OK, this is the coolest thing Ive seen in a while!

Entertaining, makes me wanna build one when i get cash ;). What setup of motor's , speed controllers and batteries are you using?

Love this idea! Is this fully operated from your computer? How far is the range if so? Have you considered putting a higher warning light on it? Have you considered adding another camera to show what is behind you [would hate for some pesky kid to sneak up behind it and get taken out!]? Oh, and I want one.

Very nice work. Just add a V plow, reverse cam and maybe some more downpressure

I've live by the beach in Southern California my whole life. I am spoiled and would never live anywhere that gets that cold or snows. I do think that is a wonderful invention and for the right price highly marketable. I am handicapped and would have to hire someone to do that. very cool, no pun. Much better than the messy snow blowers I've seen on tv.

Great idea, and great work!!! I like that!

Really amazing, you have fun while working, the radio reach of is good? Congrats for your SNOW PLOWING ROBOT. Luiz

suuuper project, well done !

absolutely great idea. Thanks.

Super robot ,Wondaful

Amazing!! It probably gets better gas mileage than my 87 Chevy too..lol ;) Awesome robot & video!

eye opening to me! I definitely need it when I get older. I wonder how much would one of this toy cost?

wow, is all I need to say.. GREAT idea.. wish i had the skills to build one of those

hey what kind of electronics did you use and whats the programming look like for your controls?

it's cool... I would prefere it tracked though :)

Amazingly well done. All it needs now is its' own little door to roll out of the garage!

I live in Los Angeles, and I want one.

I plow incline driveways for apartment buildings and can see this in use for low headroom applications. Another application would be for removing snow from industrial / commercial flat roofs with a blower mounted.

So sick! Wish I had one

thanks to you now i have to build one thx nice vid

I want one!!!! Great job!!

thats so cool, and fast! i think you need to step it up a notch for v2 instead of a plow, a snow blower, and studded tires for deep snow plowing.

Now thats cool, Is it controlled from the garage of from a hand held remote?

I would buy it, that's probably the neatest thing I've ever seen. It would be great for my dad since he can't shovel because of his bad back

Screw getting a new snow thrower,I want one of these.

I want two!!!

WOW what a nice and fun invention to use!

that is so cool! I want to get one of those.

I know excatly where your plowing! Bring that thing up the road to Elgin! I would love to see it in person, and I work for a snow company who would die for one.

Best snow robot on youtube

Awesome guys i am in college to be a mechanical engineer... and this is fun inspiration !!! awesome!!

That is way cool. Queation: have you had any problems with the Pneumatics in yhe cold with freezing up?

Very impressive if I say so myself. Can you send me which motors, batteries, and controller you used? Also, how did you remote control it?

I was wondering what kind of speed controller are you using?

Not a bad idea. Only one question. What about major sidewalk damage from frost? In any place where it snows often frost will inevitably be a problem and will always destroy sidewalks. How does this thing handle damaged surfaces?

Incredible. Nice....

5 thumbs up, lol. Great little invention, gj!

Please post another video. 1 years is just too long to wait. Great idea on the roboplow. Maybe post a how to do it video....

woah that is soo cool! although i hate it when people clear the snow away - its really not that hard to walk on it and it looks really cool!
