Google Earth Roomba spotted

Post by Veronica L »

Sorry about this but just look to the left of the pyramids.
It must be a fine size if it intends to clean up all that sand. 8)

It's sitting there because the sand clogged the CHM. The Egyptians could build a pretty fancy robot, but they had no ball bearings, and couldn't get a good seal in the gearbox.

Did you know...? Ancient Roombas were powered by oxen!
Why doesn't the Looj get the love it deserves?

For all that dust there it must have one hell of a dustbin.

I wonder what it is?? Egypt not yet in Street View and not likely a Google car would head into the sand anyway. Shame that.
Can anyone going there on holiday have a look please? ;)

By the way... Don't start doing what I did and comb the earth looking for more Roombas. It drove me crazy and turned my eyeballs into independently rotating blood oranges.
