Building a REMOTE CONTROL Snow Plow (using 3D printed parts)

[@AmbitionStrikes]

A HUGE thanks to our buddy Alex for helping making this project happen!! What should we do next with our remote control UTV?! 🔥❄

[@johnm3235]

Add your GoPro to the front and rear and see if you can plow the whole road from inside your apartment

[@aaro_n]

Did Alex document anything on making the control system?

[@guytech7310]

Printer Plastic sprockets with roller chain seems a bad idea. Probably would work fine with a timing belt since the belt isn't going to gouge into the plastic like a metal chain will. I would be fine if you broken up your projects across multiple videos, as I know its takes a lot of work to do these projects. Getting it all done for one video has to be pretty stressful. I would guess your doing 80 hour weeks on these videos.

[@tophlaw4274]

definitely curious to see how the printed sprockets will hold up over time, specially as it ages.... 🤔I'm guessing you printed it in standard PLA... which gets brittle over time (as it absorbs moisture from the air). 👉I'd recommend making an FPV camera mount system that transmits live video to you so you can do true remote piloting from the comfort of your bed ... it would be awesome if you use a 360° camera (or one pointed down) on a post mounted on the roof so you can have a bird's eye view of your RUTV & have clear view of what's around it. ⚠I'd also recommend having Alex modify the code or configure the system so that the default position for the brake actuator is fully extended/brake pedal depressed... this way, when you let go of the kill switch or lose connection to its control box (when you're too far away), the RUTV will automatically step on the brakes & stops itself from moving. 🥳awesome to see these creative projects again... looking forward to what you crazy kids come up with next!

[@guytech7310]

Need some cameras to see where you are going. Forward & reverse. Perhaps Part 2?

[@TheSouthernMale]

Next step for the Remote is to add forward and rear remote cameras, so you can see where you are going.

[@jtj250]

Cameras for sure FPV... make cameras from front to back when changing from forward to reverse.

[@lwwarren]

This is the way. Sit warm inside while you plow!

[@Averyfamily911]

and use a VR headset

[@torbar9603]

They have remote controls with video displays built into them (more the drone / airplane style remotes as opposed to the car ones)

[@Jacksonransom]

Just use a drone from above

[@maxwfk]

That kill switch definitely has to engage the breaks as soon as it’s let go

[@organist1988]

That's what I thought, too.

[@robb1165]

My gas rc helicopters have engine kill switches that shut the engine down if it flies out of range. Something like that could be a good idea also. Along with a receiver with failsafe settings if theirs does not have them.

[@Cooper1]

This has become one of my favorite snow plow oriented channels.

[@beaushaw]

More like let's build a crazy complicated way to plow that is significantly less efficiently than using the skidstear. I'm here for it.

[@MrAwsomeshot]

right?!

[@peeblestim]

That is the coolest thing ever - way to go ! I forget the KZbin channel, but there are guys that put a piece of ABS pipe over the cutting edge of their plows for plowing gravel driveways. It seems to work well to leave the gravel on the driveway and not scape it off.

[@tdotw77]

Yes, that's very common for snow plows to do that. Only problem is the plastic is fragile, especially when it's very cold outside. I've heard of commercial plow drivers using a steel pipe instead but that has its own set of issues too. Gravel is a PIA to plow snow until ground is really nice & frozen so you're not pushing all the rocks around. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔😅

[@danjones4748]

Next ? I'm thinking Arduino computer w/GPS. Teach it to follow the road/driveway and turn around to come back. A camera to see where it's going would be nice as well.

[@matthewpeterson3329]

Basically a giant snow Roomba. I like it!

[@rangefreewords]

And expand on that to use tree tags as reference points with a few teslas bumper sensors if cloud cover and GPS are not conducive.

[@Dovrizzo]

Yup. And map out the driveway with something like ArcGis and integrate GPS/Arduino to control the servos.

[@nit4swede503]

Or tracking with the drone,Courtney is a good machine operator.Well done guys !!!

[@DFPercush]

My thoughts exactly. I know there are programs like ArduPilot out there that can also be used for boats. Would probably work for a land vehicle as well. The tricky party is safety - what if your neighbor is coming down the road again? You'd need some kind of sensor to avoid collisions. Maybe lidar, or an IR range finder. It might also require a few beacons around the property to get enough precision. It would make a good collab with one of the RC boat/plane channels.

[@LaureReminick]

Love to see Riley doing his engineering role again!

[@MultiSerge1980]

Riley, you are an amazing individual! You act like a crazy person and then you turn around and show us how much of a Genius you really are. It is a pleasure to watch both you and Courtney. working together to build your new home in Idaho. Every week I look forward to seeing what new and crazy idea that you have come up with and then do. My best wishes to you and your family.

[@TheSouthernMale]

How to shovel the snow in 10 years while you are inside, warm and drinking coffee...... Oliver, go shovel the snow. :)

[@Why_ask_]

That’s how my dad did it when I grew up in Idaho. When I went to college he then purchased a snowblower because “his old snowblower went to college.”

[@nickrecycled4051]

[@davidscott8400]

That's scary

[@MarcLee]

You could also imagine what kind of things Oliver might be breaking in a few years with an RC plow :)

[@steventrostle1825]

@@MarcLeeOnly if Riley doesn't break it first

[@DJCloudPirate]

Since the UTV is already electric you should consider just tapping into the throttle signal and fwd/reverse toggle for the electric motor controller. It's not like there's a throttle linkage or gear shift :) You may be able to also use regen braking. Most of these small Chinese EVs use very similar motor drivers.

[@gregorybarth930]

Or put a solar charger on the top to extend the range and recharge while parked

[@DJCloudPirate]

@@gregorybarth930 I would work on eliminating failure points first. While it made for a cool build video, converting from an electrical signal (from the rc receiver) to a servo actuator, to a mechanical linkage, to the control interface of the utv to another electrical signal into the motor controller. That's a lot of potential points of failure that could be bypassed

[@nzlemming]

Yes. It's going to be out in adverse weather and plastic is fragile when it gets cold. As cool as this Heath Robinson set up is, direct signal management is the best way forward.

[@davidtshirtman]

you need to produce one for others to purchase from you for Snow blowers for people in extreme areas that have to stay inside. You have become an inventor of a product that can ultimately save someone's life. Please consider building this as a kit.

[@keithviolette5870]

Such a fun project! Great video! I think I would have spring loaded the brake pedal to the full brake position and had the actuator pull up to release the brakes, so the default position (even when the power is off) is full brake application. As far as what to do next... Finish adding the servo for the winch in and out, also add another linear actuator to angle the plow. FPV (first person view) from a drone would be great, bonus points to get the view to switch to a backup camera view when you switch it into reverse (will help you not back into buildings).

[@DonO1970WNY]

Ambition Strikes has officially become the American Colin Furze channel, and I'm here for it! Great video, and great creation! Next step is to mount a camera in the front, that you can watch with VR goggles or a drone controller. Then you don't have to have line of sight, to plow the entire driveway.

[@juliestrother167]

Hi there Riley and Courtney, I think I have just finished binge watching all of your previous videos! All I can say is WOW WOW WOW. You guys work so hard and have done such amazing things to your beautiful property in just 2 years, I'm so impressed with what you've achieved. The dogs are lovely and baby Oliver is super gorgeous and definitely has an amazing life ahead of him, but you two, hands down are the most supportive, encouraging, appreciative and genuine couple I've had the pleasure to follow. You make the best team and are so so funny together. I love watching and following this awesome adventure you are on together 🎉🫶🏽🙌🏼🤗

[@donalddodson7365]

His smile and facial expressions are so enchanting.

[@hollandduck79]

1 strong recommendation : adjustment of the Kil switch! . Releasing the Kil switch on the remote control should mean : Full Brake pedal (as in parking brake). also outside signal range should mean : KIL-Signal ON = Full Brake pedal. This way the UTV can never roll away from you. RC car components are available for this. These must receive a constant signal from the hand-held transmitter if it is lost, Furthermore, it is a super cool RC UTV Top 👍👍 the brake is automatically activated and the petrol engine shuts down (Kil switch).

[@Steve757-fl1hd]

When I lived in Detroit I use to have lunch once a week with 3 auto engineers. They told me once the strongest part on every car was the brake pedal. They also told me the engineers lament, “anything worth doing is worth way overdoing.” Make that brake pedal strong.

Wow! The cinematography is becoming very polished. Great story line and the baby pictures were precious. You two make a great team. The engineering and fabrications are superb; sharing the process left me feeling like i am a part of the family. Ya'll are setting the standard for KZbin. Could you make a flying-drone that followed just above the plow-drone, so flying-drone could relay a control signal back to the house, so you could control the the plow without going out?

[@brianmoore4299]

Agree with many of the commenters. Make it autonomous. Whatever method is best but so it acts like one of those electric lawnmowers or a roomba vacuum. Then it could just go out and plow the road all on its own. Cameras, so you can always monitor from your spot inside. Commend Riley on his skills as a fabricator. Good job on the video work Courtney . Enjoy what a sport you are and that you're always laughing and smiling while supporting Rileys crazy and risky adventures. You bring the proper balance with your caution and reasoning.

[@benjamincrall8065]

That's super cool! I'd be a bit worried about the plastic parts wearing out over time, especially the chain sprockets or break actuator that if they fail could cause you to loose control of the UTV. Also the fact that you have to have the green button pressed to actuate the breaks seems dangerous, maybe Alex can fix that?

[@VPWedding]

I agree. You always want no-input or no-signal to mean Hit the Breaks.

[@50spirithealer]

Oliver is so stinking cute! Growing up way too fast! Is there anything that you two can’t do? The imagination and the abilities to create those ideas are simply incredible! Love you guys like part of my family!

you should have it always brake when you let go of the controls, and have a hand grip trigger so that when you let go of controller it auto brakes

[@jasonitterman4337]

Right? I think we need to have a 100mile challenge between the utv and the Chang-li!

[@PtangPtangBiscuitBarrelSmith]

Riley gets the best toys.. What you MUST do is have the brake fully on by default and held off by a servo inline with the actuator so if you loose signal it returns to default braked position !

[@MadBkr]

Liked this video a lot! May be wrong but i see a lot of leverage on the tab where you welded all the servos. Will you add some bracing to the tab and a tensioner between the sprocket and the steering wheel? Next step is the remote control army truck! 😁😁 If the remote goes out of range what happens? It brakes or it drives into the horizon?

[@GeekOfAllThings]

Awesome project. Here's an idea for a project. A long range wireless 360 camera on the UTV connected to a VR headset. Like people said in other comments, I think you should make the kill switch default to a fully pushed in brake, so pushing the kill switch button releases the brake and releasing the button pushes in the brake. I assume that any loss of connection to the remote would activate the kill switch as well. A truly fail safe setup would needs a brake system more similar to a semi trailer, where loss of signal or power (in the case of a semi, air pressure) would fully activate the brakes. That way if the brake servo fails in any way, the brakes would activate. I don't see an easy way to do that without severely modifying the brake system though. If this UTV has any kind of regen, turning it on would help slow it down a little without the brakes.

[@superdepronic]

FPV camera and goggles ?

[@boneshaker8156]

So, a couple of things to think about; 1. Adding A; 360° cameras or B; using a drone with the "Tag-a-long" option as it hovers above the "R/C"UTV. I think option A is best as you won't have to worry about a separate vehicle. 2. Adding a remote tilt to the plow. 3. Adding a remote on/off switch so you don't have to leave the comfort of your living room... hehe. On a separate item; when are you guys going to build a proper vehicle lift system, instead of relying on floor Jack's to raise your projects off the floor? Love Everything Y'all have accomplished. Keep having Fun and Enjoy Life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ejcastro9518]

To truly be able to plow from inside, those front and back cameras are a must. Great project tho! I love to see Riley so passionate about his latest project. I am unable to comprehend his genius thinking to fabricate all those moving parts etc and be successful mostly on his 1st try! As always, looking forward to your next adventure 😊

[@williambryant5946]

This remote controlled UTV plow was a really neat project to watch y'all build. Front and rear cameras with a screen mounted to the controller, like a drone controller; might be a good idea so you can see what you're doing whitout having to actually see the UTV. You're probably getting surface water in the shallow well too, for sure with the pond on top of it. You need to build up that area higher than the area around it which you know but I'd suggest that you make it slope steeply from the bank/hill behind it to the driveway and sides so the surface water runs off really fast and doesn't go into the ground much at all. Also make sure all the areas around it within at least 25', but 50' would be better; drain quickly too. As you are aware you really don't want surface water getting into the water you drink.

[@DaveHart-G]

I understand brake & steering need to be mechanically driven. Presumably an electrical / electronic interface would also work for the “gas pedal” and forward/neutral/reverse switch & a kill switch. I love the way you hack the mechanical design and turn a concept into reality.

[@iamdwl]

I can see you adding a programmable map to your snowplow. Sort of like a robot vacuum for your house. Program the areas that you want the vehicle to travel, and it plows the mapped area automatically. That would be awesome.

[@toms6213]

Don't sacifice the remote control to make it fully autotomis.

[@TheJonesy837]

Enjoyed the video, great fun adapting a real vehicle to a radio control system. I fly RC models, model helicopters that are like flying lawn mowers with carbon fiber blades! Just a point of safety that should be considered are the RC failsafe settings. For example, if radio connection is lost, then drive power off and brake on, most RC systems have a way of configuring it.

[@rickperalta1921]

[@rickperalta1921]

Consider live cameras... 8^)

[@andrewr2650]

Really cool video, back to classic ambition strikes creativity. As someone who has experience wit automation and safe systems The one small suggestion I would make would be to either setup the controller so if you release the kill switch it either applies the brakes, or add one more toggle servo that sets the parking brake when the kill switch is released. Basically if you let go, it is guaranteed the UTV will immediately come to a stop regardless of what it is doing.

[@jimg.8020]

Knipex channel locks are truly one of the most handy tools in the game. From chain assembly to pipe fittings, just top notch. And indestructible. Change my mind

[@Triv27]

If you end up needing stronger printed parts like the sprockets. 1. Look into maybe using carbon fiber infused filament. 2. Plasma cut plates to sandwich the sprockets to strengthen and stabilize the main body of the part. Think big washers covering just the central section. 3. Consider maybe creating a print with a central void. That way you can pause the printer and add a stronger piece of material into the void(maybe plasma cut a piece) that will be encased in the print to help strengthen it. Sometimes creating hybrid parts is a better option all around. It’s just a thought though.

[@stevehaken]

The 3-D printed sprockets are impressive. Did not think they would hold up...

[@codemonkey2k5]

A couple suggestions. 1. Set up your remote so that when you let go of the throttle it auto breaks. 2. When you 3D print, use 3 or 4 perimeters. You can then use a little less infil. Perimeters provide more strength than infill. (reference cnc kitchen's youtube channel for tests done on this topic) 3. Set up the remote so that it breaks if you loose signal.

[@corpnut2906]

your DIY stuff reminds me of my Uncle Wesley(Wes) and my Grandpa Russell(grandpa)lol they would have loved the plasma table and the 3d printer you should have seen what they made old school in the 50's to 80's.

[@brucecox100]

Soooooo cool. You all are brilliant. Remote control for the plow angle.

[@BigGuy8059]

First of all: The kill switch should ONLY control the throttle servo, so you still have steering and brakes if you let go. Second, add forward and rear cameras with the rear view flipped so you can drive it from your house using a VR headgear. Third, add a really good GPS module so you can write a program that learns your route and can play that back to automate they whole thing. You need the GPS since just driving it by remembering the controls would not take slippage into account. This would essentially be a giant Roomba for your property.
