It's color and the lights (that look like eyes) remind me of Jake from Adventure time! It's super cute! Hey Hokkaido any chance you can send a few of those our way? My older sister up north can use one of those about now! Very Happy

Nice, but so slow it's impractical.

Depends on when it starts and how fast the snow is falling- if it starts work at 3am it could get a lot done. And that's when human shovel teams have to start around my part of the world. Sad

Right now, I wish someone on my block had one of these and was real neighborly. Smile Tho' we do have a guy who has a four-wheeler with a blade who does the city sidewalks for fun. So I can't complain.

Great for if you start it in the morning you can build an igloo in the afternoon. Smile

Though as slow as it is here it's more likely to get stuck and buried under snow during your typical snowfall, before clearing a path for itself...

I dig the music in this video. Makes me think of Sega Saturn.

It's probably an expensive yet slow and impractical robot.
