Re: The Robo Maid

Err, it isn't much of a robot from what it looks like. Well at least a robot that doesn't think with a computer. It just bumps into walls and that little drive ball gets redirected. I saw a roomba mimic like this that just had a drive wheel that could rotate 360deg and had a differential that switched between changing its direction and powering it forward. So it would just drive into a wall until its drivewheel turned direction enough to go a different direction. That probably wasnt understandable, but the point is, it isn't really a "thinking" robot, and is probably a ripoff. Roomba Rules!
