But ...
Make it a little bigger, and you might be surprised how much 'smarts' you can pack into the robot itself. A targeted seek and destroy mission would not be unreasonable. Its range is limited by battery life; since it doesn't have to fly that could be an hour or two.
Frankly, the thing looks more like "Chucky" than "Hello Kitty".
Mr Snurffles will not like being cut off from the wi fi.
Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
I can just imagine the thing going full on HAL and locking down the house.
Now we discover that Space Odyssey was a training video for the future.
No Startrek universe you ,you minions....no, you get 1984.
Terminator was very educational........
Mr Snurffles........the thing has a name already!
Now I’m concerned.....LoL. :)
What part is expandable? Or is this not a good place to ask about that?
Yes, and it is verrrry cross.
Roomba’d
The Roomba?
The thing is a freakin’ murderbot!
The infernal Roomba had me cornered, treed on the table as it maniacally rammed the table leg in an effort to knock me off so it could get me.
It beeped sullenly, then motored off.
Quietly I stepped down off the table and made my way across the room.
Behind me, I heard the whirring of tiny motors.
Then an excited beep.
I bolted, mowed down several plant stands and a very surprised cat as I fled to the safety of the stairwell.
The Roomba couldn’t handle stairs, I’d be safe!
Unfortunately, I’d gone down the stairs rather than up the stairs.
The Roomba gave an excited beep as it rocketed off the top step and launched into space!
In terror I turned around in time to see the spinning brush on the underside aimed right at my face!
