Synergy
It's not often that you get a perfect mix of robotics, sales pitch, politics, cheesy "monster" movies and humor, but the internet is a neverending series of surprises.
Today on Woot, the commentary made me laugh out loud, which you don't normally expect to happen when you surf to a site looking for cheap tech gadgets:
Scoobery When Wet
Addwater to a gremlin, you get a litter of new gremlins. Add water to aprune, you get a reconstituted plum. Add water to a Roomba, and you geta severe electric shock resulting in injury or death. So the cyberneticjanitorial technicians at iRobot conjured forth the Scooba, which doesfor your mop what the Roomba does for your broom: turns it into amuseum piece. (By the way, it's OK to feed the Scooba after midnight.)
The iRobot Scooba 5900 just needs one trip around the room to wet up yourfloors and wipe up your filth, in four mechanized steps. First, thescooping up of garbage. Second, the spraying of the cleaning solution.Third, the spinning of the scrub-brush. Fourth, the vacuuming and thesqueegeeing of the crud. Off it goes into a special holding tank, whereit will be held without access to an attorney until such time as you determine that it no longer presents a danger to the American people.Or until its battery runs out after 80 minutes and you decide to emptythe tank. You're the decider.
I've got a strange affinity for iRobot products (even though I don't own any) so maybe I'm the only one who would find this funny, but really, if gitmo were guarded by little floor sweeping robots instead of marines, wouldn't life be a nicer place?
