Researchers at the Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College are some very busy bees. When they’re not occupied with inventing solar powered scalable robotic platforms for arctic research, they’re outside measuring snow. The journey on foot is tiresome and slow when one day they had a sudden “DUH” moment. Why not attach a sled to the robots and let them do all the hard work? Before they knew it, they were snow surfing.
Hopefully this will be the start of a new collegiate competition.
