Wouldn't you find it gets in the way a bit. I mean you are sat in a chair and you push back (as you do) and CRUNCH you've run it over, or cracked its shell.

I'd be too tempted to use it as an object to take my anger out on - so it would become a high speed frisbee


On another point, could you attach your dog to it, and make it go for little walks around the house?

How did this actually occur ? was it whilst it was docked and charging or when it was actually charged an in motion ?

Dunno, he just told me he smelled burning from the other room, and found a small fire on his living room floor.
Not sure if it was in use or not. It would be almost comical if the thing caught fire and kept scooting around setting everything alight whilst you frantically tried to catch it.

Tried that with the robot lawn mower. The dogs were not best pleased for the first few weeks, but with perseverance, and one of those elastic lines, most eventually got used to it. It was a bit heath-robinson, one of them bathroom plunger sucker cups on top of the machine with a broom stick in it and the lead attached at the top. Stopped it lopping off the flowers in the beds, and came away if caught around a tree.

Is this you or the lawn mower? The BBC props department were way ahead of their time.
