The twitter account for eGFI, an engineering magazine for K-12 students run by the American Society for Engineering Education, tweeted this post in preparation for the big D.C. area snow storm. Check it out: http://twitter.com/egfi/status/6809275250

Good idea, but like most robots that do service it only works in a certain enviorment. we easily get 10ft high snow banks on driveways here because there is a lot of snow and not much room to put it. Also I wonder how it works on ice!

it’s got the whole lift and push thing going on.

so it can push towards the top of the snow pile and push the top back.

keeping the pile at a manageable height.

I think the idea is that if you get 50 inches of snowfall the bot will have shoveled your driveway 50 times, staying ahead of the pileup… But yeah, I’m not sure what it does when there’s no place left to push the snow on the sides of the driveway.

Should really be the “I-Snowbot.”

After about 50 inches of accumulated snowfall, I have a four foot high snowbank on either side of the driveway. I don’t think this little guy can handle that.
