This is a custom-built 6WD Remote Controlled Snow Plow robot. It is a powerful and versatile platform with a snowplow mounted on the front with remotely adjustable height. The plow is raised and lowered using a linear actuator and the yaw angle is manually adjustable. It uses qty. 6 12.8V 42Ah LiFePO4 batteries that are removable through a compartment in the rear of the robot. The chassis is a rigid gusseted 3/16" thick aluminum frame. The plow can be removed by undoing a series of bolts so you can use the robot for other purposes such as hauling/towing material and equipment.

The drive motors are powerful wheelchair motors, which are directly coupled to the wheel. This simple direct drive system is sturdy and reliable. The robot uses differential steering (movement is based on two separately driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body). It can thus 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.
