May this hopelessly buried excavator operator refusing to quit digging be your spirit animal in the New Year
Some might look at this video and say, “What’s this guy doing? He’s only making it worse.” And those people would be correct.

One of the best, and perhaps worst, things about drones is that they blur the line between tool and toy. It’s why drones, or Unmanned Aerial Systems, are in such a regulatory gray area.

2015 Ford F-150 VelociRaptor boosts 5L V8 to 600+ hp; more muscle than mudder (PHOTOS)
Ford’s F-150 Raptor 4×4 turned out to be such a success for the automaker that at one point it had to ramp up production by nearly 70 percent just to meet demand.

With construction booming again in the concrete jungle of New York City, the sound of jackhammers is a distinct voice among the city’s cacophonous urban symphony. For some, it’s a little too distinct. Especially those that know that since 2011, Hilti has offered an electric pavement breaker—the TE 3000-AVR—that the company says is not only […]

Crew must build an ice platform to extract submerged bulldozer from frozen river in Alaska
A company in Alaska got a not-so-nice early Christmas present when one of their dozers slipped through a frozen river. As you can imagine, the process of getting that dozer unstuck is not very straightforward. If that machine fell through, logic dictates others that come in to pull it out will fall through as well. According […]
