I didnt know TronCycle battles happen in your house.
TheRealEalonMusk
Neat, but y u no gif?
tofudisan
Because it's a long exposure, not a time-lapse video.

I need to charge my romba

Super random movement pattern and a lot of spots not covered... #Neato

What breed of Roombas does the spiral?
TheHappyHermit
the ones that can't handle their booze
xheyther
I think it's the "spot" cleaning mode. Mine do something like that in this mode.

Spiral type

THE KAMINA BREED

Nooo even the older models do that when you first put them down. They spiral out to find a wall. Spot cleaning is just a slow circle.

I was thinking about getting a Roomba, but they miss a fuckton of carpet!

Get a Neato botvac

A Neato's pattern, by comparison:

How did you get a Roomba to clean the walls in #6??? You're sitting on GOLD

Had to go back and check! Chuckles Silently...

Now I wanna buy one just to map it's territorial habits ._.

DJ ROOMBA IS IN THE BUILDING YALL
dirtyslimjim
This is the first thing I though of!
MikasaIsBAE
Is it me or are the paths that are taken inefficient?
smithd7
It's seems so. I have the 980 which is supposed limit the randomness with the onboard camera. I'm interested in seeing a long exposure of it
Ttarler
Roombas aren't smart at all. Most have a bumper plate that causes it to rotate when triggered. No special algorithm or nothing.
batlrar
Looks like it gave up on this floor
and just decided to chase its own tail.
rovertbiggs
Super inefficient. I had one and it looked like a blind man vacuumed. Switched to a Neato and it does a way better job.
Nize426
Yeah. Can do multiple rooms, recharge itself and go back to where it left off, no random patterns, no BS, and good price.
Sephority
*looks up price* nope
Nize426
Much better than what you get for the same price with roomba
Nize426
I bought a Neato botvac instead because of this. It moves in a side to side way that makes much more sense. Cheaper and does a better job.
stoffo
My neato is retarded piece of crap.
Nize426
Laser might be dirty. Old model maybe? Or just broken. Mine was the best 400 bucks I've ever spent.
stoffo
Its been stupid from the start (would get stuck between chair legs), then it stopped working (just leaves charger and rotates). Alzheimer?
Nize426
Yeah, chairs are difficult sometimes for mine as well. But it sounds like maybe a sensor broke in yours. I'd contact Neato.
Drarra
That would only work if your room doesn't have many obstacles though... Roomba's method makes sure to clean edges...
paisleyprawn
Nize426
It goes around objects and keeps the correct path.
paisleyprawn
/a/FmYaV A Neato made the arrow pattern in that album, which looks much more efficient :)
killernerd
huh, that's pretty interesting.
