It's 2017, Why Do We Not Have a Roomba Type Device to Clean Our Glass?

[Ty Hamatake]

Think about it. We already have equipment where the power supply and motor are housed outside of the tank (Vortech) that make something spin on the wet side. Have a little charging dock that attaches to the glass on the dry side, motor and brush are on bearing so they can roll easily across the glass, wet side has maybe two sets of brushes that spin opposite of each other, and a sensor that keeps it a set distance away from its surroundings (sand, silicone in the corners, etc). Then you just program it to clean the glass once a day and you always have crystal clear glass! What do you guys think?

I think you should have kept this to yourself, and got a patient. [emoji23]

@Ty Hamatake do you have a Rumba?

@Ty Hamatake do you have a Rumba?

Kind of, she's eight and her name is Audrey

A real one though, no I do not. Do you!?

You're dampening my snarky reply here, but...
Aw... Mine's 4....more like a reverse-Rumba though. On a regular schedule, automatically dispersing things onto the carpet that need to be swept up.

A real one though, no I do not. Do you!?

No. And neither does anyone else. That's why there's no Rumba for algae. It's a neat idea that – at least for carpet – doesn't work that well in reality.
