When I tell people I’m working for the Robot Co-op, sometimes they ask if we make robots. I’ve had to explain that we actually make websites, but we got our long-awaited Roomba yesterday, so now I can say we own one at least.
We put it together yesterday, watched it buzz around the office, chased each other with the remote control mode, and asked it to find its way home to its dock. Not to neglect the actual cleaning functionality, we programmed it to run early this morning. The first question we all asked when we came in was “how is the robot?” (answer: it got stuck on one side of the office because we forgot to turn on the Virtual Walls).
Looks like there’s competition for the title of Chief Janitorial Officer.

I know this is the wrong place to ask this, but the only contact email address listed on the main site ([email protected]) is just returning errors to me.
My account seems to have seen suspended for some reason, though I cannot fathom why. Who can I contact about this?

Sorry about the multiple comment posting. This page does not like my Firefox script blocking plugin.

I know that you’ve hired your first femalle robot, so I had to read the blog post before I realized that robots love _those_ robots!
just kidding! What’s the roomba’s name? Is there a naming contest?

The contest currently involves getting the little trashcan to follow the schedule for vacuuming the floor (and bonus points for not getting stuck). So far 0-2 in the first 2 tries.
