Are you fed up of being snowed in your house and then having to shovel your way out?
If so then you need this Yuki Taro robot to help you get rid of that snow.
It has built in cameras and GPS to help it find its way about. It will remove that snow and poo snow bricks which you can then use to make a big igloo which you can then use as a Candy Girl rental parlor.
Thanks to DRAGUN for sending this in.

That's pretty cool, but for $8000 you could hire the kid next door to shovel all your snow for the rest of your life.

What I'm interested to see is if they can take this technology to the next level and have fully automated machines cleaning the roads in the future.

I see great uses of it.
Like here, now, at this period of the year.
*Commercial time*
You want to be cold? You want heaps of snow? Come to Canada in winter, you'll love it! (Or maybe not). ^^

Yes, we are more than willing to share all the snow and cold weather with everyone.  You can have it all if you want. ^^;

Aren't we just generous souls...

I wonder how high of snow it could handle, or if it could handle frozen snow?

what a problem i would think of it.. somehow getting lost in the middle of a road and a car running it over.. *poof* 8000 dollars down the drain "WTF JUST HAPPEN TO MY YUKI TARO ZOMG IM GOING TO RIP MY BRAINS OUT" type of thing could happen.
i'd rather shovel my own snow... its good exercise and helps build some muscle ;). but instead the street cleaner is a good idea.. but then again thats taking a job away from another human. Doesnt snow here often either :/.

I don't think you'd invest in something like that for fun purposes.
And the R&D section must have planned everything.
Don't worry, be happy.

I would buy one if it flung to snow bricks at unsuspecting people. Only then would it be worth the money.

lol~ I don't think it's small enough to get run over, actually ^^; 
As seen in the video, it's really quite big.. So instead of being run over, it'll be busted into a million and two bits :D

Given how much snow we've had around here lately, I fear the poor guy'd demand workman's comp or something.

Now if only they'd invent one to clean up after my dog....
