[Noisebridge-discuss] mop has fall; cleaning robots works?

[Christie Dudley]

Actually, it used to be called "Smart and Final" but is now called "Cash and
Carry".  I'd pick something up there on my way in, but a mop is kind of hard
to carry on a motorcycle.

A huge disadvantage of the Roombas is how poor their coverage algorithm is.
 While it's not really a bad idea to go over and over things to get it all
(but horrendously energy inefficient), it's terribly inconvenient when it
has to run for hours and hours to cover the place, and with as many nooks
and crannies as we have will still likely miss huge swaths or get stuck
somewhere.  Those are designed for working people who are fine with it
running all day while they're at work.
