Weighs 980 lbs, 6 wheel drive, can push 3' of snow, cost over $8k to build. All RC with FPV system. This video is one of the reasons that I built a rover and found APM on the internet.
This has made the rounds a few times. I always wish I had one each time!
Yes, but can it chip ice?
@TC3, I can think of a whole lot of reasons why that is a really good thing.

Hmmm, IMHO it's talk about hw platform and purpose role only, no guidance system.
Video was maked 4 years ago
@Mark,
I suspect that it is not autonomous and is being driven by a R/C connection using the onboard camera as no guidance system was mentioned in the video.

Absolutely great and hard to top that.
There actually is a competition for robot snowplows but I cannot remember the sponsor.
