Starting the robot

Ok,
I hate the fact that my floor at home is messy but I also dislike vaccuming, it's not that the task is arduous but more that I don't have the attention span to vaccum an entire loungeroom without getting bored; particularly frustrating is getting the shits at the fact that the power cord on my vaccum usually gets accidently pulled out of the wall while I am vaccuming. The solution, I believe, is clear. What I need is a robot to vaccum my house for me.

You can buy them, Roomba and the like but they aren't without their problems - without doing something so nasty as accusing anyone who has spent $600 on this a f****ing idiot I'll be satisfied with saying that Roombas have problems such as;

1. The "virtual wall" feature that they use to stop them going into a proscribed area uses infrared which means they get freaked out in bright sunlight or other scenarios where lots of infrared is used.

2. They have stupid features that nobody wants to use, including "max clean" where you can make the thing focus on a particular area of the floor.

3. $600

So the obvious answer to the problem is to make one.
