Robotic Snow Removal

Yuki-taro autonomous snowplow robot
Snow shoveling is very overrated. It’s labor intensive and it forces you to go out into cold when you really don’t feel like it. That is why I personally want the Robotic SnowPlow. The over-sized yellow robot does all the work, ensuring your lazy butt stays nice and warm.
From the site:

Armed with GPS and a pair of video cameras embedded in its eyes, the self-guided robot seeks out snow and gobbles it up into its large mouth. Yuki-taro”s insides consist of a system that compresses the snow into hard blocks measuring 60 x 30 x 15 cm (24 x 12 x 6 in.), which Yuki-taro expels from its rear end.

I want one.

I don’t think the columnists should swear in their descriptions of the gadgets that you review.

I’ve had one for years, and it’s always a conversation piece.

I’m sorry if the terms I used offended you. I replaced the questionable word and I will do my best to keep it clean.

Vic, your response to Anonymous… good example of Web 2.0? Thanks for responding quickly and without defensiveness. The original comment wasn’t me, but I appreciate clean language too.

Sara,
Thanks for your input. I always enjoy hearing feedback from the readers and I will try my best to keep everyone happy. Keeping it clean is a very easy request and I promise with scout’ s honor to do that, even though I wasn’t a boy scout.
