Hello!!
I’m back with the update, snow is here, and the robot is ready to fight with!


Since the 46" blade for snow plow is very expensive, I decided to make one using spare wood,

Actuator is mounted on top, and working via motor controller using RF, the best solution I found.

Video will be uploaded sooon, stay tuned everyone.

Hello! What a nice project, it’s pretty amazing. When a project like this came to our mind, sometimes we left it aside because it is a big project that cover a lot of topics. I’m very happy you managed to do it and it seems you got a lot of fun while doing it. Congrats!:exploding_head::grin:

I really enjoyed all the pics and explanation of the build. Great job on the build and in sharing it so well.

How wide are these tracks?

Love this project . Yep finding caterpillar mechanics at any affordable price will put off most
For what its worth Here is my half built idea " Bicyle Tyre to Caterpillar Track . DIY no special tools.

Gosh If there was such a thing ready made to buy I would consider . Many Need a miniature garden towing vehicle There is a market DIY stores now are marketing such as lawmowers. Wrong end . Whats wanted is a simple tractor to tow various other tools.
ciao MsO

OOh now I cant see how to upload my diy description Cycle tyre to Caterpillar trackk , never mind
