It's a start -- RoboPlow

Interesting concept

YouTube - ideaLABORATORIES's Channel

I'm not sure how well it would do in "real snow" ( wet/deep/etc). I'd guess that it would need chains or tracks at the very least. I'm also not sure about the pneumatic plow actuator, but what do I know.

enjoy,

I love invention, if for nothing more than the fun those folks had doing it.

Or if it's into other things, it could be looking for John Deere.

I can see it now:
"It's my turn to plow the sidewalk! You already had a turn!"
"Mom!, Stu won't let me plow the driveway!"
(No, I have no need for a snow plow in Virginia Beach)
