Well, it had to happen eventually, it has snowed where I live. Some years it doesn't snow at all, but this year, it snowed this morning so I'm making the most of it. Time to try out SnowBot.
Sadly, this first attempt resulted in only a small advance of a few centimetres before the wheels started to slip. I thought it might get further due to the relatively wide tyres and quite heavy battery but it was not to be. Shame.
Looks like I will need some snow tyres for this mobile robot for it to be able to go anywhere snow like. Still, more snow is predicted for this evening so there's a small chance I might be able to have another go tomorrow morning - after I have made some snow wheels and tyres, before all the snow melts.
