2014 Competition
The 2014 Autonomous Snowplow Competition is officially started after receipt of applications
on 20 September 2013, and completed after the final dynamic competition on 26 January 2014.
We had a great set of competitors with several new ones joining the event this year.
The temperatures were very cold this year (-20° F/-29° C with wind chills), but all teams persevered.
