What an aweseome concept! I'd love to see one of these in the flesh... Thanks for posting Joe!

An interesting concept

vacbear58's profile picture
but flawed I think. Apart from the "wall" problem mentioned above it would surely only pick up surface litter and looks to me like it would very soon get clogged. In the empty office setting it looks to me to be around the size of a Connie - not very practical to be rolling around under its own volition. And that does not even consider stairs ......

Personally, I think I would choose the "other" ball as the practical and efficient solution

Hmm, very interesting Joe!

but I can see why Al has reservations about how successful this design might be in practice. Even so I wish them well; it must be one of the coolest designs I've seen!

my fave part is that it **lights up** when it needs the dirt emptied

Think any of us would wait for the light to come on Joe? I kinda doubt it.

it would be worth waiting for, like how you wait for the vintage lux to turn itself off and pop open ;^)

Or to see when the low fuel light comes on? Ok, maybe, as always you make a point.
