Meh. Colorado model railroaders use a Rotary snowplow to clear their tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuzJ5aR2mNk (The prototype for this dates to the 1880s, they're still being used on full size railroads, too.)

Inspired by squirrels constantly fence sitting?

Matt Tompson is now ahead of the pack for the monthly Rube Goldberg Useless Invention Award.

Expect the Cub Scouts' Pinewood Derby to allow new build options soon.
