BloodyRain2k

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

Get a Neato botvac
paisleyprawn
A Neato's pattern, by comparison:

What kind of telescope is that?

I need to charge my romba

PocketProtector
Damnit. I commented the same thing, then saw you had already done it. +1 for like minds.
doctorninja
How did you get a Roomba to clean the walls in #6??? You're sitting on GOLD
BadAngelorGoodAngel
Had to go back and check! Chuckles Silently...

Missed a spot.
abidelunacy
+1 impressive. then there are the patterns left when someone has a new puppy that poops on the floor...
Taleboblen
Super random movement pattern and a lot of spots not covered... #Neato
TheRealEalonMusk
Neat, but y u no gif?
tofudisan
Because it's a long exposure, not a time-lapse video.

What breed of Roombas does the spiral?
Crispynoodlez816
Spiral type
TheRicM
Tasmanian
Nivloc
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.

Spiral out.

Black and white are, all I see in my infancy

I think it's the "spot" cleaning mode. Mine do something like that in this mode.

THE KAMINA BREED
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.
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
batlrar
Looks like it gave up on this floor
and just decided to chase its own tail.
paisleyprawn
/a/FmYaV A Neato made the arrow pattern in that album, which looks much more efficient :)
killernerd
huh, that's pretty interesting.
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.
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.
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.
