LEGO Snow Blower
LEGO Snow Blower
(1/7/2017)
This video showcases my attempt at making a LEGO snow blower capable of clearing my driveway at home.
This snow blower was partially made of the 42030 set for the drive system. I added the snow blower extension and pneumatic system.
Two Power Functions XL motors power the "blades" up front, while pneumatic cylinders are used to lift the whole attachment up and down. There is also a pneumatic pump and automatic valve system mounted on the drivetrain.
Although this snow blower didn't work too well, I learned a lot about how snow blowers work and how I could make a better version in the future!
