		<description>A friend showed it to me, thinking it might be good for his house.... no not for his sloped roof. Although, in snowdrift country ...... I wonder just how many people realize that the design is for industrial/commerical buildings. 

Issues i see
1) What is the expected PSF on the tracks? One of the biggest advantages is the reduction of damage to older roofs by less walking. The machine might also be converted into a man carrying roof device for the same reason.
2) You need a physical bar on the front of the snow grinder, to prevent runing into objects that are out of sight. 
3) Seperator to keep gravel out of the hopper
4) better way to get the machine to the roof. Lifting eye(s) are better, easier, and safer.
5) Hopper dump. Needs to lift up and over the taller parrapets, or to a rooftop snowmelter. Enlarge capacity as others have said. what device will make sure the whole hopper gets packed adequately? Maybe a small hydraulic arm compacts it like a trash truck does.
6) Where is the Zamboni attachment? thats what this reminds me of.</description>

		<description>[...] While we hate to admit that winter is fully upon us, at least we know that we can man our way through it the best way&#8211; without lifting a finger.  Just like our Husqvarna Solar Mower automatically mowed our lawn for us, we&#8217;ve found a solution to save us from shoveling snow this winter.  The Roofus snow removal robot scans your sidewalk and driveway and kicks out every single flake that hits pavement.  It may need some human assistance, as is shown by the included radio control, but it shows a lot of promise either way.  The best part?  You can take this baby into a cage match when she ain&#8217;t shoveling.  Hell, she might even make you some gambling money under-the-table&#8230; [yankodesign] [...]</description>

		<description>Great Job, pay no attention to those Nay Sayers. I am sure they also said bad things about the Romba.  I would love to have one for my drive way.  Small version of course and the optional lawn mover and leaf mulcher.</description>
