A robotic snow plow has been developed by SuperDroid Robots to eliminate the snow from your driveway and walkways. Hate shoveling or snow blowing in arctic conditions?? With this robo gadget, you won't have to face the elements or throw out your back while trying to clear the snow from your property. You can continue to be a couch potato during all snow days. The robotic plow is a remote controlled SDR custom six-wheel drive device.-
The robot itself is made from aluminum, cut from CNC plasma and molded together. With an IG90 24-Vdc 127-rpm Gear Motor, the robo plow works wonders with a Sabertooth Dual 60-A motor drive. There are chain-coupled axles that enable driving in unstable terrains. The high-power 80-W headlights allow the user to see the path while it is being remotely controlled with the capabilities of a Spektrum DSMX Transmitter and Spektrum R9020 nine-channel DSMX X-Plus Receiver. The 13-inch tiller tires, custom steel shafts, and pillow block ball bearings make the robot ride smoothly.
The robo plow also contains a 24-V coil, a 12-V coil, battery chargers, a battleswitch radio-controlled 10-A relay, an air solenoid valve, an air compressor, a pressure switch, and an air tank. All components are customizable through SuperDroid Robot’s website.
At the hefty price of $8,500, would you consider purchasing one of these??
