My wife said she expects I’m going to eventually do a modification like this:
That would be a cool routine. Set up something so when it detects a ledge/cliff, it pauses the vacuum, and another routine flies it safely down the stairs/ledge, then resumes the vacuum.
It actually might not be insanely difficult to do, the problem would be designing it in a way that the propellers don’t interfere with the side brushes cleaning along the edges, or blocking the lidar pulses. It would probably have to actually be built into the vacuum to resolve both of those issues. Legs would probably be easier and more energy efficient though.
I paused the vacuum on the middle of the ramp earlier today, and it started speed sliding back down the ramp as soon as it paused.
