For anyone interested, this is a SnoMote. It is based a 1/8 scale snowmobile chassis, and has been modified to include an embedded computer, GPS unit, camera, accelerometer, and a small suite of weather sensors. Additional modifications include the complete redesign of the rear section to use two tracks, a new motor/drive system, and upgraded front suspension.
Some pictures from the first field test in Alaska have been uploaded, and should be visible at the bottom.
