HELLO WORLD

This is the begining of an epic project. Over the next 4 weeks, I will design, build and test a remote controlled snow plow. Gone are the days of using a shovel or even a snow blower. Background I am an 18 year old student currently studying Industrial Design. I have wanted to do this project for a few years now but was unsure of how to tackle it and simply did not have enough motivation. I have been told that It is not going to work recently, I am trying to prove that it can work. The Project To build an rc snow plow ( prefferably controlled by a computer and monitored via a standard vga camera). Construction would be mostly wood since I lack the equipment and the materials to use sheet metal. I am also planning on using arduino but might switch to a more conventional approach if that does not work out or is too complicated for the timeframe. I have roughly a month to complete this project as well as test it ( still has not snowed yet). Purpose of this Blog To record the building process of this epic machinery. More info coming in a few days once development starts on monday....
