Today is a very different day here on Automotto and the reason I say that is because we have a collection of stuff that is very different from normal. A flying trike, a superlative lawnmower, a taxi, a very unusual vehicle for developing nations and now a snow showing machine! It has been quite a difference from the clutters of concept cars that we usually have here along with the big bikes. This is a lot more fun too as it gives both us here and everyone reading plenty of variety and choice.

Roofus is a snow-clearing machine that has been designed in a revolutionary new fashion. Roofus has been designed Michal Glagowski and it has a wonderful new design hat allows the machine to do the work of around 25 people in much lesser time than normally taken to clear snow. With winter on its way very shortly, a vehicle like this that can clear snow at a fast and effective pace can really be a life saver and it also makes for a lot better and wiser investment.

Nowadays heavy snowfalls are more often because of climate changes and can cause damage of huge flat roofs. Because of complex problems (roofing material, lightning rods, safe load, specified snowdrop points), snow removing is difficult, expensive and made mostly by people without heavy machines. Roofus weights 100kg and can take 250kg of snow as a load. Rubber caterpillars are fit for roofing safety. It is made mostly of plastic and Duraluminium which gives it the strength despite the less weight. It can work autonomously (using odometer, magnetic compass and two external antennas) or can be radio-controlled. The concept is an absolute lifesaver in many nations across the globe and so we hope this really materializes in to something solid.
