[history]
Catastrophic winter storms throughout the US Northeast and now Midwest -setting record lows and caused by global warming- have some folks shoveling snow up to their belly... so while you're out there giving yourself a heart attack, think of how fun it would be to grab a coffee and plow the driveway/sidewalks from your laptop or smart-phone instead:
The Roboplow was invented by Rob Kinkey and isn't some frail little 'maybe' like early robotic vacuum cleaners.: if anything, it's overkill with 6-wheel-drive, 50" plow-blade, and serious power from it's electric motors that have it tearing down the driveway (can do 'donuts', see video below).
The thing resembles an Israeli IDF border-patrol robot or something, and really was done professionally with front and rear LED safety lights, full-power-adjustable plow, top-mounted web camera, remote control system for all of the above, + weather sealing/finishing... no word on any plans for commercial production yet:

I agree with mabarker1, and numerous others.....btw, newbie, why do you continue to give the posts you whine about hits, thus giving the poster more visibility and sympathy?

Posts HERE do not equate to hits on a blog.
Pointing out pimping and attempting to short circuit the process may constitute whining in your world.
Not mine.
If you don’t like it.. tough.

I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

You would think your post relating JR’s feelings on this subject wouldn’t even need to be said; but then again the whole basis of the asinine question in Post #23 shows a chronic lack of common sense.

I’ve posted that quote a few times. Go figure. :)

The Fox news this morning showed vid of a local who built a remote control snowblower, gets about 75 percent of the blowing done from inside the house.

the whole basis of the asinine question in Post #23 shows a chronic lack of common sense. Pimp enablers have a history of not quite understanding the concept.
