How can a snow plow robot help you this winter?
One of the worst parts about this time of year is having to plow the snow after a winter storm. If you live above the Mason-Dixon line, you can almost be guaranteed to have to get out the shovel and clear your driveway, sidewalk or parking lot.
What if there was a way to remove the snow from your driveway without ever having to pick up a shovel? What if instead you could use a remote controlled snow plow robot?
North Carolina’s SuperDroid Robots has just what you are looking for!
This is a pre-built version of our 6WD RC Snow Plow and it packs a powerful punch! The chassis is a rigid gusseted 3/16″ thick aluminum frame that was redesigned to mount the plow further back on the robot. This allows for better plow positioning when plowing at an angle and makes the snow plow robot more durable during the worst winter storms.
The plow is raised and lowered using an electric linear actuator. It is also removable so you can use the robot for other purposes such as hauling/towing material and equipment making it not only powerful, but versatile as well.
The wheels are mounted on 0.75″ OD solid steel axles, each of which are supported by two heavy duty pillow block bearings. The three wheels on either side are chain coupled, giving the robot 6WD power and torque.
Our remote controlled snow plow robot uses differential steering; i.e., movement is based on two separately driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body. Therefore it can change its direction by varying the relative rate of rotation of its wheels and “pivot turn” in place. See our ATR page for more details about our All Terrain Robots.
