No, the design is brilliant :)

Yup, took me something like 30-45 min. to gather the pieces, then I
took a brake and made and published the vote page for TMOTM, after
that it took me another 120 minutes to build and upload the picture.
So I'd say 2½h total :)

I'll let you know how it works in snow tomorrow .) And how could you
say mine is better? It's your design! Okay, so I added the light on
top and the 1x2 tile grille pattern :)

So you _want_ a list of the bugs and errors? :)
1) Front grille too close to gears, as already mentioned. I used a
4215 1 x 4 x 3 panel instead - with a snow flake print of course .)
2) Top plate in front to low, get's in contact with gears
3) Blade seems one stud too wide between the mounts, the rack pieces
is bent inwards
4) One 1 x 4 brick on each side in the lower back is mounted in the
same space as the z24 crown gears that mesh with the drive motors, had
to move them out one stud.
5) Uses _way_ too much yellow .) Do all pieces really exist in that
color?
6) DAT-file misses a few pieces here and there, like the pins with
cross axle for the z8 gears in the drive train (neat design BTW) and
the holder for the blade up/down 1 x 2 brick with hole. Also misses a
couple of technic cross axles etc. etc.
7) There is a hole in the bodywork on the lower sides of the "engine"
sompartment - or it was my mistake?
8) The drive motors don't fit on the bricks specified in the DAT-file
Should I go on? LOL! Don't remember anything else at the moment :)

Yep! It would be a perfect office toy :))

Hmmm, I do hope you mean the "really happy" approach on chuffed :))
