I got a greeeat present this week: a ‘robomop xp’
yeah, yeah.. you’re jealous.. it’s only natural. People are always talking about robots doing our bidding in the future but I’m already living the dream.
…well, before you start to imagine me sitting back in a leather chair and sipping bubbly while a robot picks crap out of my bearskin rug, we should take a step back and remember I said ‘mop’ not ‘vacuum’ :o)
When I opened the box, the first thing that struck me was that the frame (or Robo-exoskeleton as we call it in the business) weighed less than the cardboard box in came in…
but my disappointment soon disappeared when I realised what a wonderful piece of engineering I held in my hand.
Does anyone remember those ‘weasel balls’ that were all the rage (with cats), maybe.. 10 years ago?
Well, welcome to the 21st century…
…it’s now been turned into a robo-mop!
Simply make a really light, cheap plastic ring and attach some sort of tissue to the bottom of it. Then, in the middle of the ring, have some sort of cage to enclose the weasel ball so that while it flops, it mops!
Freakin’ brilliant
This website even labels it as ‘epoch-making’ :o)
I have a whole new appreciation for Norwegian technology now…
I totally want to name it…
