My birthday is coming and I have been asking David for years to get me a roomba. It's kind of a running joke but I really do want one!
I'm not actually interested in the roomba to CLEAN anything. Mostly I'm thinking there's some entertainment value in it. I'm thinking I'd probably stick a pom-pom on it and tie string behind it for the cats. I think having a little robot marching around the house bumping into things might be good for some chuckles.
How is their pathfinding? Their motorskills on smooth (tile/hardwood) surfaces? Do they get stuck? Does it need a lot of human handholding, or does it mostly take care of itself?
Do they actually clean at all? If I set it loose in the kitchen will it actually clean up even part of the crumbs on the floor? It might be nice if it actually could handle stray cat hair and the like between heavy duty sweeping/vaccuming.
