Ha!  Someone stop the ferrile Roomba from  stealing that Pilatus.

If it was a Roomba, everyone on the ramp would be in trouble!  Those things are just plain out of contol!

works great... until there's 1/4" of snow on the ramp :)

From the web site:  

Q: Can the tug operate in snow and rain?

A: Yes. It works fine in light snow and even ice. Yes to the rain, just don't submerge it. The electronics are in the top of the tug and you want to keep those dry.

There is a large twin in the hangar directly across from my hangar that has one of these. Great toy, and fun to watch the owner guide his airplane in and out of his hangar using an iPhone (could be an Android smartphone) to control the device. He sure upstages my RoboTow. Not sure I would want one, even if I could afford it.

I know a Global operator who bought the large version of this because there wasn't room in the hangar for a conventional tug to pull the Global in.  It is pretty scary to see a 60 million dollar plane being moved about by something like a Roomba!  :blink:
