I find it fascinating that cats will become accustomed to the Roomba vacuum cleaners, and even ride on them.

I wonder if they'll try it with the Husqvarna auto mowers?

It took some time to get all the yarn untangled from the rotor brushes. Both the robot and the knitting survived unscathed, though.

Hi Savoche

All this money wasted on armaments we just need balls of yarn everywhere to tangle up the robots and drones

Surely you get more inspiration by looking in your fridge/freezer or at the butcher's shop.

Maybe he lost his concealed carry license and now all he can do is throw hot sauce in a perps eyes!

The Roomba is nice, but the Xiaomi can both vacumm and wipe the floors. Besides, Xaiomi should be the perfect name for cat owners

I think the latest models have better sensors and get stuck less often. From the video above I also think my little robot is better at planning the cleaning. Here's the map it built during its latest run in the kitchen.

That's right, Dave. Cheap and efficient. Who'd have thunk it, eh.

There's still a lot of testing to do, though. Will cotton work as well as cotton? How about synthetic fibres? Will dental floss be the thing to stop smaller bots? I can already envision defence forces buying yarn at $50,000 a bundle - instead of wasting money, of course.

I didn’t know there was two kinds of cotton.

Well, since you (or I, sort of) mentioned it, there are four kinds of cotton; two American, one Asian, and one African. At least 80% of the world production is the Central American type.

So yeah, will Egyptian cotton work as well as Upland cotton?

Don't forget Cottonelle TP.

Sadly, I can't see the map.

You're not missing much, looks like a snail's trail all over the house, but in an orderly fashion.
