2015 Competition
The 2015 Autonomous Snowplow Competition officially started after receipt of applications
on 19 September 2014, and completed after the final dynamic competition on 25 January 2015.
We had a great set of competitors with several new ones joining the event this year.
The weather cooperated this year to bring us a competitive event without too many cold toes!!
