Remote-Controlled Snowplow - Neatorama

(YouTube Link)

Rob Klinkey built this remote-controlled snowplow. Roboplow has a 50 inch blade, six powered wheels, and 660 amps of power. The blade can be pneumatically controlled in four directions. Lights and a mounted camera allow the Roboplow to be driven while out of sight and at night.

Pretty sure the writing translate to "Insert Tab A into Slot G". Eventually it is going to dawn on Egypt to sue IKEA for stealing their pictograph method of instructing assembly of flat items into various large objects.
