Unanticipated Sport: Solar Robot Snow Surfing

Thayer School of Engineering researchers at Dartmouth College discovered that their "scalable, solar-powered, science platforms for the Antarctic" not only pull their own weight on the snow, but can pull the weight of a researcher (complete with laptop) on a sled, too (sadly, at no more than 5 mph). SOLAR ROBOT SNOW SURFING ANYONE?
